Introduction to Children�s Low Vision Care

Course Description

Introduction to Children�s Low Vision Care is a half-day course that provides information on evaluating and prescribing for children with vision impairments.The course features information about developmentally appropriate assessment tools, optical devices, vision rehabilitation services and assistive technology for children. Upon completion of this educational activity, the learner should have a better understanding of how to review, diagnose and provide vision rehabilitation options for children with low vision, and will be able to apply this knowledge in his/her medical practice.

Needs Assessment

This course provides information that allows a physician to meet the needs of visually impaired children and infants. Familiarity with, and understanding of, the options available to address functional needs � whether in the physician�s office or by appropriate referral � will increase the physician�s understanding of vision rehabilitation methods and ultimately his/her ability to provide better patient care.
