Early intervention in families with children with CVI

Early intervention by children with CVI plays a significant importance. It connects with the brain’s ability to adapt and change – neuroplasticity. However, we sensitively take into account another dimension as well – parents of the youngest children with disabilities found themselves in a challenging situation. They search for information, support and child development possibilities along with strategies on how to cope with the new life situation. We briefly explain the diagnosis and the specifics of the intervention, inform about experience that the Center of the Early Intervention´s team has from family accompanying. We focus on the examples where it is successful to combine the development of sight perception in an everyday life with the support of family as a whole.
