Statement in the IEP regarding CVI:
What is it, and what makes it unique?
CVI is a neurological form of visual impairment which has unique implications for functional vision. This form of visual impairment requires a very different approach to instructional supports and environmental/material adaptations as compared with ocular visual impairments. CVI presents a unique need for interventions to support the learner's use of vision across environments; Provided with appropriate interventions, children and youth with CVI can be expected to demonstrate measurable progress in visual functioning over time.
Learners with CVI have unique visual behaviors, with 10 Characteristics common to these individuals (described in detail below in assessment), each of which is expressed on a scale of visual functioning (The CVI Range [RomanLantzy, 2007; Rev. 2018]).
Visual functioning is measured across the Range (0-10), with three major phases describing level of impact of the CVI Characteristics on the individual's ability to use his vision functionally:
? 0-3 Phase I Most severe impact on visual functioning ? 3-7 Phase II Moderate impact on visual functioning ? 7-10 Phase III Closest to typical visual functioning
It is important to identify a child's visual functioning on the CVI Range with regard to each characteristic, as the intervention approaches needed to support progress in visual functioning are unique to each Phase. It should be noted that a higher Phase of current visual functioning does not correlate with a decreased need for intervention and support; as a student progresses along the CVI Range, the specific types of interventions and curriculum adaptations required to access information and curricula merely shift.
