Подробное описание

Many clients with low vision are unaware of OT, or the services OT can provide to assist with low vision needs. Clients with AMD, DR or Glaucoma who choose to receive the one hour OT service will be provided with 1:1 education regarding the devices and strategies that may improve their ability to perform medication management skills. Clients will complete the MediCog and the Revised-Self-Report Assessment of Functional Visual Performance (R-SRAFVP) assessment tools with the assistance of the OT. These tools will inform the therapist to areas of client needs and allow for focus on intervention to support these challenges. Follow up in OT 4 weeks post intervention will allow therapist to reassess the effectiveness of interventions provided via a phone or in-person interview as well as provide the assessments again. Second set of data from these assessments will be compared to initial findings obtained.
