2023 Summer Workshop – Addressing the Needs of Students with Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) and Complex Communication Needs (CCN) in the Classroom Setting.

The Bridge School is excited to announce the AAC-CVI Framework, adapted from work at Penn State University.

The following poster was shared at the 2024 Perkins Conference, Nurturing Growth: Collaborative Interventions for Students with CVI and AAC Needs presented by Aileen Arai, Gabriela Berlanga, and Elisa Kingsbury. It includes 3 case studies to highlight how different components of the framework were key to each of them showing how some sections of the framework can be more relevant than others depending on the student and their trajectory. The photos also show how different and varied the interventions derived from the thorough consideration of each component can be, making this a call to professionals to avoid the use of one-size-fits-all recommendations.
