(Distance Teaching Techniques and Strategies to Use with Students with Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI)
During this 2020-2021 School Year, many teachers are increasingly finding that they will be teaching their students from a distant location, often through Google Classroom, FaceTime or Zoom. During this Training, participants will learn how to improve their distance teaching techniques, how to make their lessons more meaningful and how to connect their remote learning experiences to home life for the student with CVI. Specifically, this Zoom Training will focus on how to choose a platform, identify a learning goal, create a succinct lesson, extend and apply what was taught, provide feedback and finally, how to keep the focus on learning!)

(Conducting an Informal, CVI Range Assessment Virtually During the 20-21 School Year
As during any other school year, many teachers of students with visual impairments are being given referrals to conduct Functional Vision Evaluations with students who are Cortically Visually Impaired (CVI). However, since many of our students with CVI are often medically fragile, parents are choosing for them to stay home and avoid direct contact with others, so their risk for infection is less. How can a TVI conduct an assessment remotely? Come to this training and learn how one TVI does this and learn ideas for conducting a virtual assessment of your own.)
