STRATEGY TO SEE

Diane Sheline, a teacher of students with visual impairments, noticed a rising number of children with Cerebral/Cortical Visual Impairment (C/CVI) in her work since 1980. To address the lack of information on how to support these children, Diane created this website with the aim of assisting parents, caregivers, teachers, and anyone responsible for children with brain-related vision loss in learning methods and techniques to promote effective vision use. This could range from basic visual attention to more functional purposes. Diane’s hope is that by offering early intervention and sharing the strategies outlined on the website, there’s an opportunity to positively influence how these children use their vision throughout their lives.
