Professional guidance helps The pegboard itself is easy to handle, so a family could start using it alone. How much a child can see varies a lot with CVI, so picking the right starting level and knowing when to make things more complex gets much better results with a TVI or vision-focused therapist guiding the plan.

What it is

Summary

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

This pegboard lets you build activities for a child with cortical visual impairment (CVI), starting with simple, uncluttered backgrounds and moving toward busier ones. You can create background templates and peg activities that adjust for color, lighting, movement, and visual complexity. It's made for children, and it works best as a tool for gradually building up what a child can see and handle, not as a one-time activity.
