CVI Resources

CVI Scotland is a fantastic resource co-created by people with CVI, parents of children with CVI, and vision professionals

The CVI society in the UK has helpful information regarding CVI

Check out Professor Rachel Pilling's blog. These resources would be great to share with teachers and others who need a 'quick guide' format of information on CVI. I particularly like "The tale of the Curious Mechanic" and "Professor P's two page read about how we see"
