Impairments in vision can result in decreased independence and safety during daily activities, including ADL, IADL, work, leisure, and social participation. Low vision rehabilitation addresses these needs for independence and safety through the optimization of residual vision, utilization of assistive technology, and adaptations to the environment to compensate for vision loss. The interaction between the person, the task, and the environment and finding the perfect balance between these key components can be challenging. This webinar will provide a greater understanding of how assistive technology can promote independence and safety during daily activities for adults with vision impairment with emphasis on understanding the dynamic interaction of person, task, and environment for clinical application. This session is intended to be at an introductory level and is appropriate for all levels of practice. When:
Thursday, April 5, 2012
