Conversation Series on CVI and AAC with Dr. Christine Roman Lantzy

Conversation Series on CVI & AAC

Bridge to Life Services, a division of The Bridge School, in collaboration with The Children’s Home of Pittsburgh, is hosting a conversation series with Dr. Christine Roman Lantzy and other experts in CVI, language development and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC).

Series Overview

Class dates will be every other Thursday at 12 pm –1 pm PT/2 pm – 3 pm CT/3 pm – 4 pm ET during the Spring Semester 2025, starting on Jan. 16, 2025. 

The six-month long series will provide an overview of the essential elements to understand and meet the needs of children/students with CVI from infancy through the school years. The series will be a virtual, “real time” experience with opportunities for participation and interaction.   

Each cohort will be limited to 15-20 participants.  Participants are expected to be present for the virtual classes.  One of the objectives of this experience is to build professional networks, so cameras are to be turned on so that members can become familiar with their colleagues.  

Each “conversation” will last for approximately 45 minutes with an additional 15 minutes for questions and answers.  Questions and comments on assignments can also be submitted prior to and/or after the conversation using the online learning management system.  These questions and comments will be addressed during each session.
