ALT Speaker spotlight Cerebral palsy, Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI) and CVI-SIM - Dr Andrew Blaikie, University of St. Andrews Research has found 60-70% of children with cerebral palsy also have a condition affecting how their brain interprets their visual surroundings called cerebral visual impairment (CVI). CVI, when unknown or poorly supported, affects learning, friendships, relationships and creates anxiety. Dr Blaikie, a consultant ophthalmologist, will explain the connection between the two conditions, how to identify CVI in children and adults, and what to do, involving mostly simple cost-free changes. Includes a groundbreaking simulation video.

The session will be fully interactive and take participants through the person-centred planning journey.
