Summary
Have you heard of physiotherapy or speech therapy? What about vision rehabilitation therapy? It provides a wide range of professional services that allow people who have poor vision to continue to live independently. Vision loss does not have to prevent an individual from living an active and fulfilling life. In this lecture, you will learn about different causes of visual impairment, essential skills for daily living with vision loss, and available vision rehabilitation services that sustain an individual’s well-being.
