Abstract
In this chapter, case reports of children are presented as illustrations of the broad spectrum of cerebral visual impairments subsumed under the umbrella term CVI, which may also serve as a kind of guideline for diagnostic assessment and for intervention. Systematic and standardised procedures enable comprehensive assessment and documentation of all relevant functions, while an individualised tailor-made management strategy taking developmental stage into consideration is required for each child. This approach provides a basis for later comparison of the child’s developmental stages at the time of follow-up assessment. Moreover, therapists can easily share their experiences of children with CVI, when they employ the same or at least similar standards of assessment and intervention.
