Cortical/Cerebral Vision Impairment (CVI) is a neurological disorder affecting vision, thus affecting the use of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). AAC for individuals with CVI requires customisation and should be designed specifically for the individual. In this session, we will provide a general overview of CVI and discuss current treatment methods as they apply to AAC. We will review ways to support and customise AAC systems for individuals with CVI and how they can support communication.
