Dear Maureen and All,
Good morning. I hope this finds you all well. To provide some clarity on the
matter the changes to eligibility criteria (formerly Category 3; now
Category 2, scheduled to be terminated on August 31, 2010) only pertains to
those individuals who are seeking initial ACVREP certification. For those
with who already hold ACVREP certification, recertification requirements
remain the same. Therefore, Maureen and others in her situation are not
affected by the change.
I was fortunate enough to address this issue at the AER International
Conference during the VRT Division Meeting. The biggest issue relative to
this matter is that this change leaves only one pathway (Category 1) to
apply for ACVREP Certification for Vision Rehabilitation Therapy. It is
import to be clear in the fact that this single pathway is degree bound.
Given this new provision and other conditions facing the field, I asked the
individuals present if this change would yield good our bad consequences on
the field as a whole. For those not able to attend, I would like to extend
the same opportunity. Please express any concerns or positive consequences
resulting from this action. I will be happy to share these comments with the
ACVREP Board and the CVRT Subject Matter Committee, which will be
implemented shortly.
Thank you.
Garett A. Holm, President
ACVREP

What happens to those of us who are AA certified when we come up for
renewal? I come up for renewal in 2014.
Thank you.

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
