Explore the wonders beneath the waves in this thoughtfully designed ocean book created for all children—and intentionally developed to support those with Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI), low vision, and diverse learning needs.
What Lives in the Ocean? pairs real photography with simple, rhythmic text to introduce ocean animals in a way that is clear, engaging, and accessible. Each page reflects a CVI-informed design approach, using reduced visual complexity, meaningful imagery, and carefully considered visual features to support attention and recognition.
This book has earned the support of Christine Roman, PhD - author of the CVI Range, Roman Word Bubbling, and Cortical Visual Impairment: An Approach to Assessment and Intervention. Her work helped inspire and guide the use of salient features and considerations for CVI Phases, shaping a design that supports how children with CVI access visual information.
What Lives in the Ocean? is appropriate for children with a functional vision level in mid-Phase II and above, based on the CVI Range (Phases I, II, and III).
