Description of Proceedings of the Summit on Cerebral/Cortical Visual Impairment
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.
