 KanLovKids prescribes optical devices and the child/student's teacher of students who are visually impaired and/or certified orientation and mobility instructor provide the training after the devices are purchased. Kansas has a state contract so that school districts can purchase said devices at a considerable discount.
KanLovKids Services include Pediatric Low Vision Collaboration Clinic (PLVCC) with Linda Lawrence, MD, an ophthalmologist who works extensively with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children diagnosed with Cortical Visual Impairment or children who are visually impaired with additional disabilities. The Lion's Club International Foundation produced a short video that describes the
low vision process, the goals of the evaluation, and how it helps improve the
lives of children who are visually impaired though-out the state of Kansas. |
