CVI Connect, Silver Sponsor

CViConnect embraces the data-driven instructional model through a systematic approach. Initially, the CViConnect PRO system facilitates the integration of baseline assessment data, including functional vision evaluation and orientation and mobility assessments, among others. This foundational information empowers teams to thoughtfully select Activities from the comprehensive CViConnect Activity library. As students actively participate in these purposeful activities, the system seamlessly gathers a diverse array of data points, including the utilization of heat maps to track their visual focus, touch detection, and more.  This wealth of data can subsequently inform decision-making regarding the next steps and the most effective methods to provide support for the learners.
