Unfortunately, CVI is very often misdiagnosed or undiagnosed because many doctors, therapists, and educators simply do not know about it. What we want you to know, first and foremost, is that there is hope! Children with CVI can learn to see, their vision can get better! As parents of a child with CVI, we know how daunting it can be to raise a child with visual impairment.

Little Bear Sees is the first book about CVI written by parents for parents. As you listen to Little Bear Sees, you will meet other families facing the many challenges that come with a diagnosis of CVI. This book was written for parents, but it our sincere hope that it will be shared with doctors, therapists, family, friends, and all those whose lives are touched by a child with CVI. Together, we can raise awareness and improve the lives of children with cortical visual impairment.
