Good Morning
AERBVI has a Licensure Task Force, convened by the Board earlier this
year.  Would state licensure and certification of VRT's assist in
maintaining and developing the profession of VRT?  Vision Rehabilitation
Teachers (Therapists) are the foundation of Vision Rehabilitation since the
very beginning!

How successful are OT's, with no training in Vision Rehabilitation Frame of
Reference, in school systems and agencies?  Are university Training
programs addressing this issue with classes, research or other mechanisms?
