Hi All:
I'm posting this for my friend and colleague Laurel Tucker, who is a CLVT
and a CVRT. She is a Blind Rehabilitation Specialist at the VA in Augusta,
GA.
If you can help, please contact Laurel at _Laurel.Tucker@xxxxxxx
(mailto:Laurel.Tucker@xxxxxx) . (Could you also reply to the Listserv? I am
also
interested in receiving this information.)
Here is Laurel's request:
"This week I am generating ideas from staff to plan 2011 continuing
education presentations for our Blind Rehab staff and interns – for ACVREP
credit
approval. In a recent conversation with the staff psychologist, he
suggested that “we” all are in need of new teaching/training strategies to try
with our students who are blind and low vision and have early stages of
dementia. Our patient admissions are increasing with B/VI who have issues due
to
dementia or other significant memory problems.
Do you know of professional resources or speakers (with proven hands-on
experience) for functional information and strategies for this situation?"
Best regards,
Maureen
