The Bridge School’s CVI Integrated Program
Introduction
By Sarah Blackstone, Board Member of The Bridge School
The Bridge School is excited to announce the AAC-CVI Framework, adapted from work at Penn State University described in “An Evidence-Based Approach to Augmentative and Alternative Communication Design for Individuals with Cortical Visual Impairment” by Wilkinson et al. (2023).
The Bridge Schools AAC-CVI Framework incorporates the staff’s 13 years of experience working with children who have cortical/cerebral visual impairment (CVI), extensive physical and speech disabilities, and use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). It also reflects the personal experiences and insights gained from our colleagues at CATIC in Mexico who work with a more diverse population.
