At OSB we are creating a community of learners. Please use your voice and tell us what you would like to see – newsletters, workshops, parent support groups/call? What’s on your mind? #OSBCVIComplete

CVI Awareness is in September.

As a parent of a child with CVI, the teacher of a student with CVI or a person living with CVI, creating awareness happens daily.

[Overbrook School for the Blind @OverbrookSFTB]

During the month of September, the vision community works together to raise awareness of the growing numbers of children and adults with suspected or diagnosed CVI.

What an exciting week at Overbrook as we successfully wrapped up our New Employee Orientation today! Thrilled to have a fresh wave of dedicated individuals joining our school community. Here’s to new beginnings – and the start of the 2023-24 school year!

Have you used Smart Board to create accessible materials for CVI kids? Share your ideas with the community! #OSBCVIComplete

[Overbrook School for the Blind @OverbrookSFTB]

No one would argue the benefits of Smart Board tech in classrooms. It's a valuable piece of assistive technology (AT), but it alone cannot replace the hands-on, active learning experiences a child with an ocular or a cortical visual impairment requires. #CVI

[Overbrook School for the Blind @OverbrookSFTB]

Modified lessons for CVI students using Smart Board tech can be a great resource when reinforcing skills.
