Neurological Visual Impairment Division Webinar: CVI Companion Guide Implementation

This webinar will describe how the New Mexico early intervention team (19 developmental vision specialists) implemented the CVI Companion Guide as part of a study conducted by the authors, Drs. Amanda Hall Lueck, Deborah Chen, and Elizabeth S. Hartmann. The study has focused on the implementation of the companion guide from the practitioners’ and parents’ perspectives. Data were collected from professional learning groups, interviews, and record reviews. We will share the implementation procedures, outcomes, and lessons learned through transdisciplinary discussion. A variety of examples of how practitioners used the Companion Guide with families, how families view resources on CVI, and how to use within the coaching and routines-based instruction model will be shared.

Participants will:

  • Learn the steps one early intervention program took to implement the CVI Companion Guide and other CVI resources in their telehealth home visits
  • Learn about parent feedback from various CVI resources and what has been helpful for their family
  • Learn strategies and working with families and other providers through learning circles, coaching and telehealth.

This session was presented on June 30, 2021 by Andrea Montaño, MA, OT/L, DSIII and Kitty G. Edstrand, Ph.D. TSVI/COMS/ECSE.
