AIMS AND CONTENT

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course aims to provide practical ideas on how to develop personalized rehabilitation programs for individuals with visual impairment. In line with this objective, the topics covered are as follows:

  • International Vision Rehabilitation Standards (IVRS): international guidelines developed to ensure quality, consistency, and accessibility of visual rehabilitation services;

  • Designing the rehabilitation project for visually impaired children and adults and their comprehensive, multidisciplinary care;

  • Rehabilitation techniques for visual impairment: techniques for stabilizing fixation (particularly microperimetric biofeedback and its neurophysiological basis), mobility techniques in the environment, learning techniques for school-age children, techniques for integration into the professional and social context;

  • Clinical case studies.

By the end of the course, students will have acquired knowledge of international visual rehabilitation guidelines; they will be able to structure rehabilitation interventions based on the individual's personal needs, the type and degree of visual impairment, and the patient's age; they will be able to outline and design an individualized rehabilitation plan and implement appropriate rehabilitation strategies.
