In this episode, Michelle is joined by Carol A. Page, PhD, CCC-SLP, ATP, CBIS, the Director of the South Carolina Assistive Technology Program (SCATP) at the USC School of Medicine, from Episode 24, “AAC is more than Pictures and Velcro. Have you worked with a child who needed an AAC device, but had limited vision? Maybe they were diagnosed with a CVI and you were scratching your head as to what that diagnosis is, then afraid to move forward with functional treatment? Dr. Carol Page educates us on Cortical Vision Impairment (CVI), early warning signs for a CVI if the little one you’re working with doesn’t have a diagnosis yet, and then how to go about considering an AAC device including considering eye gaze equipment when completing evaluations and treatments.
