Professional guidance helps You can put the kit together without a professional. But a book only helps if its content matches how the child sees. Children with CVI vary a lot, so a TVI or similar specialist can make the books much more useful. That is why professional guidance is recommended, not required.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The CVI Book Builder Kit lets parents and teachers make custom books for a child with Cerebral/Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI), a vision difference caused by how the brain processes what the eyes see. Instead of buying a fixed book, you build one around the child's own needs. That matters because children with CVI often respond to very specific kinds of visual input. This is a make-it-yourself kit, so you will need to decide what goes into each page. Getting that right is easier with guidance from a vision professional who knows the child.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Open the kit and look through the parts to see what you have to build with.
  • With a guide
    1. Ask the child's teacher of students with visual impairments (TVI) which colors, images, and layouts the child responds to best.
    2. Build a first book around those choices, then watch how the child reacts. Plan on an hour or more for a first book.
    3. Adjust the pages based on what you see.
  • With professional help
    A TVI or other vision professional who works with CVI can help choose what to put in each book and check that the book fits the child's current visual needs.
