Good evening VRT listserve, This is Deanna Austin, chair of the VRT division. I just wanted to let you know that we had a great time at the international AER conference and I will be filling you in on what went on in a later email. One of the major changes happening is the cancelation of category 3 in ACVREP certification as of August 31st, 2010. After that date, in order to apply for CVRT credentials, you will need to have a master's in vision rehabilitation therapy (to my knowledge, there are no bachelor programs in VRT). This is a big shift for us as VRT's. Please share your comments or concerns in regards to this with this list or to myself, Deanna Austin at deannaaustin2009@xxxxxxxxxxxx Recruitment into the university programs is more important than ever for our field. With that, I will sign off for now and look forward to your comments on the above. Deanna Austin LSW, CVRT Chair, VRT Division Peace, Deanna Austin 317 251 6443
