TIME TO DIVE DEEPER INTO INTERVENTIONS AND STRATEGIES FOR CHILDREN IN PHASE III.At this stage, students are using their vision in more conventional ways. They learn the salient features of the objects in their environment and can access targets in different locations.
To the untrained eye, a child who has reached Phase III may not appear to have CVI because their visual responses will look more and more like someone with typical vision. However, CVI is a lifelong condition. While an individual in Phase III has greatly improved vision and is able to sustain visual attention throughout the day, they remain visually impaired. They will continue to need adaptations to materials and specialized instruction to access and engage with the visual world.
Instruction in Phase III generally has two big themes: instruction in identification of salient visual features and discriminating targets against increasing amounts of background complexity.
