As needed, an Occupational Therapist is available to conduct an evaluation, home assessment and training for those who are receiving low vision rehabilitation services from our clinic. Training consists of a discussion and demonstrations of the options available to achieve independence. These options may consist of Low Vision optical and non-optical aids, home adaptations, community resources and support groups. Optical aids consist of magnifiers, telescopes, high-powered spectacles or electronic devises. Non-optical devices include large-print or audio materials, writing and signature guides and much more. Occupational Therapy evaluation, home assessment, training in optical and non-optical aids may be covered at least in part by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance companies.
