This text based course is a transcript of the live webinar titled, "Low Vision Assistive Technology and Community Adaptation for People with Neurogenic Vision Impairment", presented by Al Copolillo, Ph.D., OTR/L, FAOTA.
Objectives
The objectives are to quickly define what neurovisual deficits are and describe their relationship to acquired low vision diseases. Acquired low vision disease are those diseases that we typically think of in the older adult population: macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataract and diabetic retinopathy. Then we will discuss the benefits and challenges for people with neurovisual deficits using low vision technologies, especially in the home and the community. Finally we will review some of the home and community technologies and adaptations for people with neurovisual deficits, and this is what we will spend the most time doing. I will do this mostly by bringing you to different links and having you take a look at them.
