Hi Jenny,

I still think that the best way to learn is through observation and
mentorship, and obviously a live workshop. Also there is a new book out
by Scheiman, Scheiman and Whittaker, "Low Vision Rehabilitation: A
Practical Guide for Occupational Therapists". I just got it on Saturday
and it is brilliant, describes therapeutic techniques very well. Another
source is the Learn to Use your Vision Workbook (LUV Reading) by Wright
and Watson; Jose and Freeman "The Art and Practice of Low Vision".
Finally, the book "Macular Degeneration: The Complete Guide to Saving
and Maximizing your Sight" by Mogk and Mogk has a very good chapter on
eccentric viewing.

A  good understanding of the retina, macular functioning, scotoma and
the PRL is the basis of EV training. 

Hope this helps, got to catch a patient now!

Cheers and keep the questions coming,
Orli

BTW--where are you in the States? Are there any courses near you?

Orli,
How did you learn to teach a patient eccentric viewing? I'm trying to
decide where to go to learn. I've done Mary Warren's course and I have a
fabulous friend in low vision who is willing to let me spend some time
observing her but I wondered if there is a course or workshop somewhere
that really gets to the down and dirty techniques that I haven't been
able to perfect yet?
