What type of stimulation is helpful for children with CVI?
• Large, high contrast, lighted, reflective and moving objects; e.g. mobiles • Touch or sound to attract child’s attention • Visual materials presented in a simple uncluttered manner with increasing complexity as tolerated • Presentation of visual material from different directions/angles • Variable level of light in environment (some children do better with a lighted toy in dim room initially) • Extra time for responses to visual stimuli • Avoidance of over stimulation • Avoidance of visual tasks when child is hungry, tired, frustrated, etc.
