Low Vision and Mental Health Services
OT services focus on providing low vision education groups and staff education in mental health settings. The groups have been created to educate clients who have low vision and mental illness so they become more aware of visual diagnoses and their impact on function. Individual services also available.
Example Standardized Assessment:
Independent Living Scales: The independent Living Scales assesses competence in instrumental activities of daily living. The items require the examinee to perform a task, demonstrate knowledge, or problem solve.
This assessment consists of five subscales: Memory and Orientation, Money Management, Managing Home and Transportation, Health and Safety and Social Adjustment. In turn, these five subscales collectively yield an overall standard score indicative of the examinee's ability to function independently with instrumental activities of daily living. Scores are rated: low, moderate and high.
