Teaching/Learning Strategies for Intervention with People with Neurovisual Impairments

This chapter presents teaching/learning strategies that can be used by occupational therapists (OTs) who provide service for people with neurovisual impairments, i.e., vision impairments related to neurological injury and illness. When to consider integrating people with neurovisual impairments into group interventions that primarily include people with adult-onset eye diseases such as macular degeneration and glaucoma is discussed. When it is probably most essential to provide individual intervention is also discussed. There is a focus on self-management and health promotion models to design and plan both group and individual interventions.
