Testimonials

Thanks to CVi PRO, my student is more engaged during class time, and their CVI Range score went up!

CViConnect PRO Subscriber

CViConnect Pro assisted classroom teachers in determining placement for students' materials within their visual field preference. Additionally, based on student behaviors and visual attendance to the sessions in the app, teachers were able to choose and create better educational items in the classroom. I appreciated observing students' visual patterns and look forward to using it next year.

I used the data to show progress of students as well as for my professional evaluation, which allowed me to show progress in learning about using technology with my students with CVI.

The CViConnect PRO support team is an incredible resource. The support team assisted me in brainstorming, creating activities for students on their individual CVI characteristics, as well as assistance in advocating with parents, classroom teachers, and administrators, about the importance of service time with students with CVI. This allowed that student visual access to their curriculum at their individual phase, and provided a program that is easy to use for staff in classrooms, so students can get daily visual access.

The CViConnect Training Modules were well done and helped to refresh my memory on previous learning that I had received on CVI in addition to providing clear instruction on how to use the CViConnect program, both on a desktop and iOS device. The modules were well organized and presented clearly. For new professionals to the field of low vision, these would be extremely helpful to gain understanding of CVI.

My favorite feature is the ability to have access to a library of shared activities to meet students' CVI Ranges and interests. The option for creating custom lessons creates endless possibilities!

CViConnect PRO is a fantastic tool that provides support for students while gathering useful data for determining supports and accommodations. My favorite feature is the ability to have access to a library of shared activities to meet students' CVI ranges and interests. If the library doesn't have exactly what you're looking for, the option for creating custom lessons creates endless possibilities!

I really liked having access to the heat maps. They provided insight into what my student was actually attending to.

As a teacher consultant for the visually impaired, I was struggling to have readily available activities for my students throughout their day. I didn’t want the materials I brought to become ‘vision time’. Since using CViConnect Professional Edition, the whole IEP team has access to activities, and students are receiving meaningful opportunities to use their vision throughout their day. I can individually assign the activities from their library of over 100 activities or create my own in order to best meet the needs of each child based on their CVI Range Score.

Using CViConnect Professional Edition has enabled me to be significantly more efficient and organized. All of our teams notes, data collection, and files are stored in one spot, which can be printed at any time. CViConnect Professional Edition allows me to differentiate my instruction based on the individual needs of students, and it dramatically reduces material preparation time thanks to the plethora of high-quality activities. Therefore, I am able to spend more time providing direct services to my students to ensure they are making growth and progress. My goal as a teacher is to share activities and resources with teachers, so we can provide a quality education to students with CVI.

This is amazing! So relevant for the times we are in! I am so excited about using this...Thank you for all of your help & the work that has been put into this! I am really hoping that I can show other districts that I serve how beneficial this would be to their students with CVI, especially since so many of our families with medically fragile students are opting for the virtual / home bound service. I plan to share the benefits of the program and how it has increased our ability to involve parents and increase the amount of time that these students will be able to work on their vision goals as a result of the program combined with the direct service of the TVI.

Susan Fowler

Instructor for the Visually Impaired

In CViConnect PRO, all of our student information is stored in one place and can easily be moved to another provider. Being that the activities are on the iPad and have backlighting, we find that our students will engage more than with real objects, books, pictures, etc. We were able to determine that one of our students does, indeed, have some vision! CViConnect PRO has provided a very useful way to help develop visual skills in a very targeted way. Finally, we love that the app can be used for on-the-spot learning, not just as activities for the students to complete.
