vision rehabilitation specialists
Vision rehabilitation specialists are professionals who help individuals with visual impairments improve their daily living skills. They assess a person's vision and functional abilities, then create personalized plans to enhance independence. This may include teaching techniques for using remaining vision effectively or adapting to low vision.
These specialists often work with a team that may include optometrists, occupational therapists, and orientation and mobility specialists. They provide training in using assistive devices, such as magnifiers or screen readers, and offer support in navigating environments safely, ultimately aiming to improve the quality of life for those with vision loss.
