COVID19 update:
We have suspended the Feasibility study for the time being and would like to thank all our schools for their invaluable contributions so far.
We hope to resume the study in the autumn.
In the meantime we will keep on writing up what we can and hoping everyone stays well.
With many best wishes
The CVI Project team

Welcome to our website where you will find lots of information about the CVI Project and the people working on it.

CVI stands for Cerebral Visual Impairment – find out more in the ‘What Is CVI?’ link in the menu.

In September 2019, we launched our study to find out if a new intervention to support children with CVI makes a difference to their well-being. For more information click here
