My little CVI warrior is 2 and very into "cause and effect" toys. I had been thinking of finding her a popper toy that has a handle to push down (great fine motor practice💪), but the noisy little popping balls might overwhelm her and I couldn't find one that didn't have a visually-confusing (for a kid with CVI) mix of colors.... Then I stumbled upon this $15 "Press & Glow Spinner" by Bright Starts! 😍 It has just a few bright colors with nice contrast, the see-through handle has reflective properties (which we know the brain perceives as light), and when you push the handle the fish spin and it LIGHTS UP! 🔦It plays soft music when it glows, but I'm picky about obnoxious toy sounds and found this one to be pleasant. 😉 I totally bought it as a Christmas gift 🎁 and think she (and her OT) will be pleased! Check out my Instagram story highlights for a video demo. 👍 #CVI #CorticalVisualImpairment #EverydayCVI #CVI10characteristics #color #complexity #light @brightstarts

Ever since "Cortical Visual Impairment" entered my vocabulary I have always filtered all new family toys or decor through a "CVI lense." 👀 My little CVI warrior is still too young to participate in holiday traditions and/or celebrations the way her big brothers do, but that doesn't stop me from doing my best to select items that will make it easier for her to visually process right now & in the future! ❤ This week I am loving this Christmas countdown calendar I snagged for $10 at Target! 🎅🎅🎅 Not only will it answer my 6-year-old's daily question of "how many days until Christmas," but the simple, high-contrast red and white along with very large, red numbers (that pocket a red candy cane day-marker) makes it about as "CVI-friendly" as I could hope for! 🙌 Happy December, y'all! ❄ May your own holiday preparations be merry and bright! 🎄⭐🕯💡🍭 #CVI #CorticalVisualImpairment #EverydayCVI #CVI10characteristics #color #complexity #red #VisualAccess #CVIholidays

New house, new washi tape! 😍 I tried letting my CVI warrior flip the light switches without anything to help draw visual attention - and the visual struggle was real. 😥 A little bit of bright, sparkly tape around important everyday objects can go a long way with CVI! 👌 To read the blog post from when I highlighted light switches in our previous home, head to everydaycvi.com (link in profile☝️) ➡️ Menu ➡️ Tags ➡️ Around the Home. 🏠 It's titled: "Highlighting Light Switches" 💡 #CVI #CorticalVisualImpairment #EverydayCVI #CVI10characteristics #Color #Movement
