Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) is when the brain has trouble understanding what the eyes see. It’s not an issue with the eyes, but with how the brain processes visual information.<\/p>\n\t
DEE-P is partnering with CVI Now<\/a>\/Perkins School for the Blind<\/strong>\u00a0to explores the link between Cerebral\/Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) and developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs), discussing the visual challenges in complex children with neurological conditions and the critical need for early diagnosis and support.<\/p>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDid you know?\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tVideos\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tTools & Resources\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u10e1\u10e2\u10d0\u10e2\u10d8\u10d4\u10d1\u10d8\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/nav>\n\t\t\t\t\tCVI Information<\/h4>\nDid you know the leading cause of childhood blindness and low vision (CVI) commonly occurs alongside epilepsy?<\/p>\nIf not, you’re not alone. An estimated 64% of kids with CVI also have epilepsy. While CVI is incredibly common, it’s also alarmingly underdiagnosed and misunderstood. In fact, most of the 65 million people who live with epilepsy worldwide haven’t even heard about CVI.<\/p>\nThat’s why our incredible collaborators at CVI Now<\/a> are helping us spread CVI awareness and reach communities where CVI commonly co-occurs. Together, we’re putting CVI on the map to increase early diagnoses and improve outcomes for every child with CVI.<\/p>\nHow Do CVI & Epilepsy Interact?<\/h4>\nCVI and epilepsy are both brain-based disorders. With CVI and epilepsy, we’re seeing overlapping causes and associated conditions. There is a wide range of genetic epilepsies, such as Angelman Syndrome, Rett Syndrome, cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 deficiency disorder (CDKL5), and SCN8A as well as structural causes of epilepsy such as focal cortical dysplasia, traumatic brain injury (TBI), perinatal brain injury, and polymicrogyria. Additionally, conditions such as Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS), Dravet Syndrome, and Infantile Spasms are important when considering CVI.<\/p>\nScroll through our collaborative video series with CVI Now to learn more about CVI in kids with complex needs and the overlap between CVI and developmental epilepsies. Topics include an introduction to CVI, the CVI visual behaviors, compensatory skills, diagnosis, assessment and intervention, and advocacy. We will post new videos periodically, so check back often!<\/p>\n\nJordan’s Journey With CVI<\/h4>\nA heartfelt look at one mother’s journey understanding and supporting her daughter’s life with CVI. \u1cac\u10d0\u10d8\u10d9\u10d8\u10d7\u10ee\u10d4 \u10db\u10d4\u10e2\u10d8 <\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Developed and presented by Lacey Smith, TVI, and CVI and epilepsy parent<\/p>\n<p>This video explains Cerebral\/Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI), the leading cause of childhood visual impairment. Unlike typical vision issues, CVI is caused by damage to the brain’s visual pathways, making it difficult for individuals to process what they see, even with healthy eyes. Children with CVI may struggle with recognizing people, objects, or their surroundings, and may develop non-visual strategies for learning. The video highlights the importance of early identification and intervention, emphasizing that many children with CVI remain undiagnosed.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.perkins.org\/epilepsy-and-cvi-explained\/\">CVI and epilepsy<\/a>.<br \/><hr style=\"border: none; border-top: 1px solid #cccccc; margin: 1em 0;\"><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"When to suspect CVI in kids with epilepsy and complex needs (from CVI Now x DEE-P)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QnMZWNwzAIg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Developed and presented by Lacey Smith, TVI, and CVI and epilepsy parent<\/p>\n<p>In this video we discuss the common signs of CVI include inconsistent vision, difficulty recognizing objects, and struggles in busy environments.

Did you know the leading cause of childhood blindness and low vision (CVI) commonly occurs alongside epilepsy?<\/p>\n
If not, you’re not alone. An estimated 64% of kids with CVI also have epilepsy. While CVI is incredibly common, it’s also alarmingly underdiagnosed and misunderstood. In fact, most of the 65 million people who live with epilepsy worldwide haven’t even heard about CVI.<\/p>\n
That’s why our incredible collaborators at CVI Now<\/a> are helping us spread CVI awareness and reach communities where CVI commonly co-occurs. Together, we’re putting CVI on the map to increase early diagnoses and improve outcomes for every child with CVI.<\/p>\nHow Do CVI & Epilepsy Interact?<\/h4>\nCVI and epilepsy are both brain-based disorders. With CVI and epilepsy, we’re seeing overlapping causes and associated conditions. There is a wide range of genetic epilepsies, such as Angelman Syndrome, Rett Syndrome, cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 deficiency disorder (CDKL5), and SCN8A as well as structural causes of epilepsy such as focal cortical dysplasia, traumatic brain injury (TBI), perinatal brain injury, and polymicrogyria. Additionally, conditions such as Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS), Dravet Syndrome, and Infantile Spasms are important when considering CVI.<\/p>\nScroll through our collaborative video series with CVI Now to learn more about CVI in kids with complex needs and the overlap between CVI and developmental epilepsies. Topics include an introduction to CVI, the CVI visual behaviors, compensatory skills, diagnosis, assessment and intervention, and advocacy. We will post new videos periodically, so check back often!<\/p>\n\nJordan’s Journey With CVI<\/h4>\nA heartfelt look at one mother’s journey understanding and supporting her daughter’s life with CVI. \u1cac\u10d0\u10d8\u10d9\u10d8\u10d7\u10ee\u10d4 \u10db\u10d4\u10e2\u10d8 <\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Developed and presented by Lacey Smith, TVI, and CVI and epilepsy parent<\/p>\n<p>This video explains Cerebral\/Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI), the leading cause of childhood visual impairment. Unlike typical vision issues, CVI is caused by damage to the brain’s visual pathways, making it difficult for individuals to process what they see, even with healthy eyes. Children with CVI may struggle with recognizing people, objects, or their surroundings, and may develop non-visual strategies for learning. The video highlights the importance of early identification and intervention, emphasizing that many children with CVI remain undiagnosed.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.perkins.org\/epilepsy-and-cvi-explained\/\">CVI and epilepsy<\/a>.<br \/><hr style=\"border: none; border-top: 1px solid #cccccc; margin: 1em 0;\"><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"When to suspect CVI in kids with epilepsy and complex needs (from CVI Now x DEE-P)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QnMZWNwzAIg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Developed and presented by Lacey Smith, TVI, and CVI and epilepsy parent<\/p>\n<p>In this video we discuss the common signs of CVI include inconsistent vision, difficulty recognizing objects, and struggles in busy environments.

CVI and epilepsy are both brain-based disorders. With CVI and epilepsy, we’re seeing overlapping causes and associated conditions. There is a wide range of genetic epilepsies, such as Angelman Syndrome, Rett Syndrome, cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 deficiency disorder (CDKL5), and SCN8A as well as structural causes of epilepsy such as focal cortical dysplasia, traumatic brain injury (TBI), perinatal brain injury, and polymicrogyria. Additionally, conditions such as Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS), Dravet Syndrome, and Infantile Spasms are important when considering CVI.<\/p>\n
Scroll through our collaborative video series with CVI Now to learn more about CVI in kids with complex needs and the overlap between CVI and developmental epilepsies. Topics include an introduction to CVI, the CVI visual behaviors, compensatory skills, diagnosis, assessment and intervention, and advocacy.

Unlike typical vision issues, CVI is caused by damage to the brain’s visual pathways, making it difficult for individuals to process what they see, even with healthy eyes. Children with CVI may struggle with recognizing people, objects, or their surroundings, and may develop non-visual strategies for learning. The video highlights the importance of early identification and intervention, emphasizing that many children with CVI remain undiagnosed.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.perkins.org\/epilepsy-and-cvi-explained\/\">CVI and epilepsy<\/a>.<br \/><hr style=\"border: none; border-top: 1px solid #cccccc; margin: 1em 0;\"><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"When to suspect CVI in kids with epilepsy and complex needs (from CVI Now x DEE-P)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QnMZWNwzAIg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Developed and presented by Lacey Smith, TVI, and CVI and epilepsy parent<\/p>\n<p>In this video we discuss the common signs of CVI include inconsistent vision, difficulty recognizing objects, and struggles in busy environments.

<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Developed and presented by Lacey Smith, TVI, and CVI and epilepsy parent<\/p>\n<p>This video explains Cerebral\/Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI), the leading cause of childhood visual impairment. Unlike typical vision issues, CVI is caused by damage to the brain’s visual pathways, making it difficult for individuals to process what they see, even with healthy eyes. Children with CVI may struggle with recognizing people, objects, or their surroundings, and may develop non-visual strategies for learning. The video highlights the importance of early identification and intervention, emphasizing that many children with CVI remain undiagnosed.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.perkins.org\/epilepsy-and-cvi-explained\/\">CVI and epilepsy<\/a>.<br \/><hr style=\"border: none; border-top: 1px solid #cccccc; margin: 1em 0;\"><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"When to suspect CVI in kids with epilepsy and complex needs (from CVI Now x DEE-P)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QnMZWNwzAIg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Developed and presented by Lacey Smith, TVI, and CVI and epilepsy parent<\/p>\n<p>In this video we discuss the common signs of CVI include inconsistent vision, difficulty recognizing objects, and struggles in busy environments.
