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
