Webinar, December 18th, 2024, with the Arc of Massachusetts. Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) is a brain-based visual impairment and a common cause of blindness and low vision, yet it is poorly understood and often underdiagnosed. Less than 20% of children with CVI have been diagnosed, and adults with CVI struggle to get services.
* This webinar explores what CVI is, when to suspect it, and why early diagnosis is important, as well as how to address challenges around proper diagnosis and getting services.
Presenters Rachel Bennett and Ali Mahady are parents and leaders of CVI Now as part of the CVI Center at the Perkins School for the Blind.
