Demystifying Complex Brain-Based Vision Impairment

Course overview

Changes in the visual system following acquired brain injury (ABI) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) are common, affecting 25%-50% of clients. However, visuoperceptual symptoms related to cortical visual impairment (CVI), or cortical blindness, can be challenging to detect and understand. Clinicians often face uncertainty when addressing these complex visual needs due to limited research, despite their significant negative impact on clients' functional performance. This evidence-based presentation aims to provide occupational therapists (OTs) and other rehabilitation professionals with simple techniques to improve their clients' functional performance of daily activities.
