VIDBE-Q Volume 65 Issue 1
afternoon session focused on creating a CVI assessment kit for every
participant. The second day of the extravaganza concentrated on
complexity, with Matt Tietjen's, "What's the Complexity?" Framework.
Claudia Swapp presented on "The Frugal TVI", showing how to shop and
create meaningful interventions from found and inexpensive materials. As
part of the second day "Make and Take", over 130 CVI adapted books were
assembled by participants. Many hours of prep work, using a Cricut and
hundreds of pages of colored and sparkle paper, were completed in
advance so everyone could make their own adapted CVI books and other
educational materials. The team also created displays demonstrating
various ways to present literacy and other educational materials for
students based on their visual needs.
Information was posted to the Paths to Literacy website highlighting
the conference; 2019 Oregon CVI Extravaganza. The team also created a
post specifically about the make and take portion of the conference;
Oregon CVI Make and Take. In preparation for the conference and in
response to a specific student need, Claudia Swapp created an adjustable
occluder, a portable and useful tool to quickly minimize clutter for students
in the classroom. The instructions on making your own occluder are posted
on Paths to Literacy here. Occluder
