I am attending a low vision 2 day course by Mary Warren on June 2 and 3 in Kansas City, MO. She now has a new book called "starting up a new vision program for OT's".
I recently purchased this book and haven't gotten it in the mail yet. I have used her BiVaba assessment at my previous job and loved it. I used it more for patients w/ strokes and head injury to check where their hemianopsia was in their field of vision, visual pursuits, visual acuity and also for scanning. There are nice pages for scanning. They are bigger than a normal 8 x 11 paper. It was nice to test scanning far to the right or left and also in midline. There is so much more to this assessment. I didn't really get to work w/ these patients for long due to job changes. This assessment probably is more appropriate for neurological diagnoses. I want to purchase this for my new job maybe after I go to the course. Mary also did research for the Dynavision and is a co-author to that manual. I feel she is a very reputable OTR/L for low vision, visual motor and perception. Mary Warren courses are through VisAbilities Rehab services in Alabama and I believe you can purchase BiVabe assessment and many more.
