This innovative textbook considers the functional and the clinical implications of low vision, their impact on the individual, and the ways in which these implications need to be addressed by educators, rehabilitators, and other professionals. Expert authors address a variety of subjects, such as psychosocial aspects of low vision, literacy and employment, and orientation and mobility considerations with specific age groups, and provide information on the best practices in service delivery.
Chapter 1 introduces the issues faced by persons with low vision and the professionals who provide educational, rehabilitation, and clinical low vision services to them. It addresses the functional use of vision in relation to the definitions and the demographics of the population involved, the roles of professionals on a low vision team, and the services available for children and adults with low vision.
Chapter 2 explores the psychosocial needs of children and adults with low vision and discusses the general perceptions of low vision and their impact and the psychological implications of low vision.
