The CViConnect Pro Mission

CViConnect for Your Students

The CViConnect Professional Edition is designed to allow a student’s educational team to work collaboratively in order to provide a consistent approach at school and home. The application runs on an iPad, although many features can be accessed through a standard web browser.

Our mission is to provide visually accessible educational materials for learners with CVI, provide customizable Activities to meet each learner’s individual vision needs, and create secure technology that provides insightful look detection data to their assigned CVI educators.*

At CViConnect, we strive to advance the CVI field by participating in research opportunities and informing the community as new research becomes available.

*CVI educators include any educational stakeholders supporting the individual with CVI, especially the families.

Testimonials

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.

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.
