Jim, You can probably get Mary Warren's kits through www.visabilities.com. Liz

I don't have everything, but I have a small selection of stand mags (Eschenbach system vario); 5x, 7x, 9x, 11x coil pocket mags; clip-on lenses from Eschenbach; a CCTV donated by a Lions club; a TV screen mag donated by a patient; 2x chest mag; prismatic readers; other high-add readers (Eschenbach Noves); and various and sundry other optical devices. I have a large selection of filters (NoIR)--evaluation kit available for free from NoIR; writing guides; lamps and bulbs; big-eye lamp; reading stands; binocular telescopes, monocular, etc. I have never inventoried my little cubicle but I have enough to go through. I have lots of wide black bookmarks too, and of course, reading workbooks (LUVreading and Pre-reading and writing ex). The principles of using devices are more important than the exact device--I think of it like driving a car--one needs the basic skills of navigation, orientation, alignment, steering, etc.... Does not matter what make or model the car is. Consider LS&S--good merchants. You need to buy directly from Eschenbach--the rep will explain how you can do this.

They are a sister company to optelec and their new catalog has the Mary Warren kit in it. They also have 90 day trial (you can return and get your money back) on their kits...if you are a new customer.

I worked with an optometrist once that had attended several of her conferences, so I guess I could try contacting him. Although, I'm not certain whats become of him lately as we had a recent not planned move to a neighboring state. If you could provide further information on these kits it would be appreciated. The program would be part of a hospital outpatient center. I have seen patient's for low vision services in the past, but only in a SNF and home health background. Never had the need for much equipment, but doing this in outpatient is a different story. Jim "Jessica R. Gross" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: A low vision program could be costly depending on what supplies you have access to. I share a wall with 2 OD's and we share everything!! The clinic has 2 CCTV's, a reader, filters, all sorts of specs and magnifiers, and all the ADL equipment. Mary Warren has 2 kits with devices, which are available from Optelec (not sure the cost). Would your program be connected to a hospital/health care system? Would you see clients in their homes? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Arceneaux Sent: Sunday, February 25, 2007 7:08 PM To: otlist@otnow.com Subject: [OTlist] Start ups Hello everyone, Would anyone on the list be willing to share start up supply lists, etc for: 1. Sensory integration with a geriatric pysch. population? I am specifically interested in a sensory room. What would be your choices on training and/or obtaining the expertise needed to pull this off? 2. An outpatient program for low vision rehabilitation. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
