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? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jenny Daup Sent: Sunday, February 25, 2007 9:04 PM To: OTlist@OTnow.com Subject: [OTlist] Eccentric Viewing 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?
