Hi,
I encountered this situation only a few times
when I was working in the field, but when I did,
I found my best help and information from
professionals and organizations who work with
people who have traumatic brain injuries.
HTH,
Penny

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
<mailto:Laurel.Tucker@xxxxxx>Laurel.Tucker@xxxxxxx
(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 ? foor ACVREP
credit approval. In a recent conversation with
the staff psychologist, he suggested that
â??weâ?? 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
