project, Children's Low Vision Education and Rehabilitation for Cerebral Palsy (CLEAR-CP), also
follows the interdisciplinary model, bringing experts from the fields of ophthalmology, occupational therapy, and education. It also brings parents and teachers together for evaluations and
follow-up sessions.
CCVRP strives to include parents and
teachers in the evaluations and follow-up activities to further increase family and community participation and to help bridge the gap that may occur between medical and educational services
and supports. Also, all clinical low vision evaluations, prescribed optical devices, and non-optical
devices, as well as any follow-up visits are provided at no cost to families or school systems.
Any electronic assistive technologies that are recommended are available for a trial-period loan to
school systems.
To find out more about CCVRP or to refer a
child with low vision for a clinical low vision
evaluation through CCVRP, please contact Carol
Turner, Senior Administrative Assistant, at 513636-6940 or carol.turner@cchmc.org.
