Do the children have only the visual impairment as a disability?
No, over the past ten years, more and more children are coming with additional disabilities along with their visual impairment. Primarily, this is a result of smaller babies surviving and drug and alcohol abuse. Fifty percent of CCVI’s infant enrollment is diagnosed with Cortical Visual Impairment indicating that the visual cortex is damaged. Often other parts of the brain are involved as well.
