The Perkins CVI Protocol: How to Complete the Assessment and Design Appropriate Interventions
This full day training will review the process for completing an in-depth, research-backed CVI assessment that investigates your student' s unique presentation of the 16 visual behaviors of CVI. This assessment forms the backbone for identifying and implementing appropriate interventions to make learning as accessible as possible for each unique individual; case study examples will be reviewed that explore assessment results leading to specific intervention recommendations.
