CVI - die unsichtbare Sehbehinderung | Claudia erzählt wie ihr Sohn wirklich sieht

Everyday life is often difficult for Paul because he struggles with concentration and sensory overload. He has ADHD and CVI – an invisible visual impairment where the focus isn't on the eyes themselves, but rather on how the brain processes vision. Claudia explains how Paul was diagnosed, the role a scooter accident played, why CVI is so difficult to explain in everyday life, and why Paul is often misunderstood at school. The episode covers topics like distance, sensory overload, concentration difficulties, suspected ADHD, accommodations, assistive devices, exclusion, and the desire for greater understanding of children with invisible disabilities. This episode is for parents, family members, teachers, therapists, and anyone who wants to better understand why a child isn't always "bad," "lazy," or "unfocused" – but might be struggling with something that isn't visible from the outside and that a child can't yet verbalize. 00:00 Intro 00:28 Welcome & Introduction of Claudia and Paul 01:43 Who Is Paul?
