What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This pegboard system is designed specifically for children with Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI), a brain-based visual condition where a child may see better against certain colors, lighting conditions, or simplified backgrounds. You use the board to create activity templates that progress from very simple, high-contrast single-item arrangements up to more visually complex configurations — matching where the child currently functions and gradually building visual skills over time. It's a hands-on, therapist- or teacher-directed tool, not a standalone kit; someone familiar with CVI progression and the child's functional vision profile needs to design and sequence the activities. The pegboard itself is a physical piece of hardware, but its value depends entirely on pairing it with a solid understanding of CVI phases and the child's specific visual profile.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
Unbox and examine the pegboard and included peg components — no assembly required to handle the materials. - With professional help
- A Teacher of the Visually Impaired (TVI) or certified CVI specialist conducts a CVI Range assessment to determine the child's current phase and visual preferences.
- The TVI designs background templates and peg activities calibrated to color, lighting, and complexity level appropriate for the child.
- Activities are updated as the child progresses through CVI phases — expect ongoing collaboration across multiple sessions.
- See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
