Christine Roman-Lantzy
The current leading cause of visual impairment among children is not a disease or condition of the eyes, but cortical visual impairment (CVI)—also known as cerebral visual impairment—in which visual dysfunction is caused by damage or injury to the brain. The definition, nature, and treatment of CVI are the focus of great concern and widespread debate, and this complex condition poses challenges to professionals and families seeking to support the growth and development of visually impaired children. On the basis of more than 30 years' experience in working with hundreds of children of all ages with CVI, Christine Roman-Lantzy has developed a set of unique assessment tools and systematic, targeted principles whose use has helped children learn to use their vision more effectively. This one-of-a-kind resource provides readers with both a conceptual framework with which to understand working with CVI and concrete strategies to apply directly in their work.

Cortical or cerebral visual impairment (CVI) is now viewed as the most common cause of visual impairment in children in this country and is a matter of international concern as well. But despite widespread attention, agreement on definitions and methods of assessing and dealing with this complex condition has remained elusive. These proceedings of the Summit record a historic attempt to reach consensus by a group of distinguished experts representing diverse viewpoints. Presentations by educational and medical professionals as well as by parents are included, as are the day's illuminating discussions among the presenters and guest participants.
