Cerebral Visual Impairment (“CVI”) is defined by a deficit of vision and visual perception in children that results from damage to the brain (Dutton & Lueck, 2015). Currently, CVI is the most common cause of visual impairment in children in the developed world. The purpose of this paper is to provide an evidence-based curriculum guide to music therapy for children aged 6- to 16-years-old with visual impairments, specifically CVI. The author begins by providing a background on Perkins School for the Blind. Next, she reviews current literature on visual impairments, CVI, and music therapy. Finally, she proposes a curriculum guide for children with visual impairments, specifically CVI, and discusses effective music therapy interventions by age group. / A Thesis submitted to the College of Music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music. / Summer Semester 2016. / June 20, 2016. / Cerebral Visual Impairment, CVI, Expanded Core Curriculum, Music Therapy, Special Education, Visual Impairment / Includes bibliographical references. / Jayne Standley, Professor Directing Thesis; Clifford Madsen, Committee Member; Dianne Gregory, Committee Member.
