Cortical Visual Impairment: Advanced Principles by Christine Roman-Lantzy is a collaborative effort by several experts that dives deeper into topics covered in Cortical Visual Impairment: An Approach to Assessment and Intervention. The book covers topics such as literacy, social skills, orientation and mobility, and additional disabilities.
BrailleBuzz is a new instructional toy designed for young braille learners to help them develop skills such as finger dexterity, listening skills, and phonics. BrailleBuzz has three modes: a phonics mode with sound effects, a keyboard mode where letters and dot numbers are announced, and a letters mode where dot numbers are announced when the embossed letters A-Z are read and pressed.
I have worked in various roles in the field of visual impairment since 2007. In addition to working as a teacher of students with visual impairments, I recently completed coursework to become an orientation and mobility specialist. I have been fortunate to work with the fantastic team at PRCVI since 2014.
I enjoy many aspects of my role at PRCVI, but highlights include working with teachers of students with visual impairments and their students on outreach visits and working on PRCVI initiatives and projects.
Outside of work, my interests include reading, computer programming, swimming, and spending time with friends and family.
