Undivided: Supporting Parents Raising Kids with Disabilities

It's , and awareness starts with knowing what to look for! 🧐

Cerebral/Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) is a brain-based blindness that can can affect vision in ways that aren’t always easy to recognize. Some signs can be subtle, inconsistent, or easy to chalk up to something else. That’s part of why CVI can go unrecognized for so long. 👀

If you notice a pattern in how someone accesses their visual environment, it’s worth asking why. And remember: CVI is brain-based, so a typical eye exam may not tell the whole story.

Trust your gut. Keep asking questions. And know that it’s never too late to pursue a CVI diagnosis!

Learn more about CVI and the signs to look for at CVINow.org and on the Undivided site.

🚨MAJOR NEWS🚨 A federal appeals court just ruled that a student with dyslexia needed "too much support" to stay in general education. 👀

The court sided with the school district, citing the amount of teacher time required to support them. This ruling currently applies only to Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, but the reasoning could start showing up elsewhere.

Is the child really the problem, or has the school failed to provide what inclusion requires? Let us know what you think in the comments.
