The course of study is designed for occupational therapists, speech therapists, physical therapists, nurses, vision rehabilitation therapists and orientation and mobility specialists as training for certification as a low vision therapist by ACVREP and, (for OT's) AOTA SCLV. The material is presented to be applied so that after the first 4 webinars, the practitioner can begin applying the information clinically. Overall, the series of 21 webinars has been organized around the 26 chapter self-study that has been written to accompany the book: Whittaker, SG, Scheiman, M, Sokol-McKay, D.Low Vision Rehabilitation: A Practical Guide for Occupational Therapists. Slack; Thorofare, NJ, 2016. The course of study is designed so that the student read the chapter, passes a test, perform assigned activities in preparation for the 1 hour weekly webinar/tutorial. The webinars are not lectures and are limited in size to allow for individualized instruction. Students spend the webinar time applying material they have learned or tried out on their own and thus will not benefit from Webinars unless they have completed the assignments. It is ideally suited for practicing therapists who can bring cases up for discussion but not required. Although the course of study is designed to be taken as one unit, advanced practitioners are invited select webinars by prior arrangement. Certificates of completion are provided for each self-study module passed and for webinars separately. For a complete syllabus and course descriptions see https://elearning.visionedseminars.com |
