During each phase the emphasis is not on vision stimulation activities but rather on carefully selected modifications and adaptations of environmental characteristics that support the student’s best visual functioning at the time.

To begin intervention planning, assessment results are compiled on The CVI Range Assessment’s Essential Forms (Roman-Lantzy, 2010). The Essential Forms provide a student with a score that indicates their range of visual function. Once the CVI profile of a student is identified, The CVI Range Assessment planning guides and intervention suggestions are organized into documents that incorporate our current curriculum. These documents, used together or individually, help guide the development and creation of CVI interventions and materials for individual students.
CVI Characteristics: Teaching Strategies and Accommodations Planning Guide is a document compiling a student’s CVI visual behaviors and responses derived from The CVI Range Assessment. It is used to document instructional planning, accommodations and materials for teachers, parents and IEP teams.

The focus of The Student, Teacher, Environmental, AAC and AT Considerations CVI Intervention Planning Guide is to increase a student’s classroom participation through use of their vision by applying CVI interventions in the following areas:

Providing CVI intervention strategies for individuals and groups throughout the school day can be a daunting task for educators. To make the task manageable, we followed Christine Roman-Lantzy’s recommendations to begin implementing two CVI interventions in four activities during our school day. This led to the Guide to Planning Accommodations Across the School Day. This guide targets increasing a student’s classroom participation through use of their vision by planning specific interventions for an activity with a specific CVI characteristic and lesson objective as the goal.
