i really enjoyed this course! this was super helpful not just for me clinically, but personally as well. my daughter had a stroke at age 5 and has peripheral vision loss. always love building my knowledge on low vision and ways to help her and my patients the best i can.

this is such an excellent course that ots need to learn from. the visual system is a major factor in most functional performance tasks that we provide intervention for. subah is a fantastic instructor. her cadence and manner of explaining and teaching is conducive to learning. her videos of the case example are very helpful to connect the information to reality.

all additional information that was referenced in the video was placed into the general manual of the course. either these documents need to be placed into a different file or have a link within the general manual that will locate the information quickly.

physical therapist can collaborate with ot's and do vision screenings as well in the school setting, instructor could have made a few comments about that.

the presenter provided a lot of information that was not on the slides or provided a lot of information on one slide. i had difficulty taking in all of the information. this course should have been three hours, so that she could break down some of the information more clearly with the beginning "review" broken down into slides and other slides being broken down into separate slides.
