brain can affect vision and specifically details the role that CVI plays in
regards to the relationship between brain function and vision. Dutton
highlights the differing roles that damage to the brain can play at various
stages in development. Also explored in this chapter are the many different
'identifications' of CVI brain dysfunction and damage. As a learning student or
experienced teacher, this prospective allows for new understanding of how
damage to the brain can cause/effect the diagnosis of CVI.
Dutton also
provides the reader with a brief overview of the visual results that occur within
damage of each lobe region and offers potential strategies for the instructor to
utilize in practice. The final section of Chapter 3 provides the reader with
ways to recognize CVI visual behaviors in students and suggestions for

Fazzi, Molinaro, and Hartmann begin Chapter 4 by exploring the

with visual impairments including how visual processes can affect language
development and the additional challenges presented to those with CVI. The
