Children with cortical visual impairment (CVI) can learn to see, their vision can get better! As parents of a child with CVI, we know how daunting it can be to raise a child with visual impairment. Little Bear Sees is the first book about CVI written by parents for parents.
Book Description:
Cortical visual impairment, the leading cause of visual impairment in children today, is caused by damage to visual centers of the brain. Unfortunately, CVI is very often misdiagnosed or undiagnosed because many doctors, therapists and educators simply do not know about it.
What we want you to know, first and foremost, is that there is hope! Children with CVI can learn to see, their vision can get better! As parents of a child with CVI, we know how daunting it can be to raise a child with visual impairment. Little Bear Sees is the first book about CVI written by parents for parents.
As you read Little Bear Sees, you will meet other families facing the many challenges that come with a diagnosis of CVI. You will learn exactly what CVI is, what common characteristics to look for to determine if your child has CVI and how the eyes and brain work together to facilitate vision. You will learn strategies and ideas for helping your child learn to see from the leading experts in cortical visual impairment.
This book was written for parents, but it our sincere hope that it will be shared with doctors, therapists, family, friends and all those whose lives are touched by a child with CVI. Together we can raise awareness and improve the lives of children with cortical visual impairment.
Comments From Amazon:
From Mitch:
I am a parent of a child newly diagnosed with Cortical Vision Impairment and have found this book to be an excellent resource in many ways.
From Jennifer:
I got this book and within 2 days of reading it Julia was rolling over while trying to reach for something. To think that she has never done this because of her vision! WOW! There are so many helpful tips in this book, I want to buy 10 of them to leave with doctors and therapists so that we can all be on the same page while working with our amazing children.
From Danny:
After only six weeks he is starting to recognize us for short intervals and can definitely see red objects. We have hope now.
