Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-88287-1 (ISBN)
The new fourth edition of Understanding and Managing Vision Deficits: A Guide for Occupational Therapists provides practitioners not only with a comprehensive understanding of vision and how vision problems can impact on the practice of occupational therapy, but also invaluable guidance on how to effectively manage clients with these issues.
The book presents a three-part model of vision to inform readers’ understanding of the issues, and management across a range of eye conditions:
Visual integrity: Includes visual acuity (clarity), the optics of the eye, and eye health.
Visual efficiency skills: Includes focusing, eye teaming, and eye movements.
Visual information processing skills: Includes the ability to analyze, interpret, and respond to visual information.
Covering key topics such as vision problems related to acquired brain injury and learning disorders among children with special educational needs, the new edition has been thoroughly updated to the latest findings in vision research, while there are also new chapters on using an interprofessional collaborative approach to client care, and how remediation can be integrated into occupational therapy principles to create occupation-based remedial vision rehabilitation.
A unique collaboration between the professions of occupational therapy and optometry together, and including a glossary of key terms and a sample vision screening report form, this is a key text for health care professionals to provide the ultimate in patient care.
