Vision Australia webinar for RAS and ACAT Assessors: Understanding Low Vision and Blindness

The impact of vision loss can have profound effects on the way people conduct their daily lives. People with vision loss are three times more likely to suffer depression and twice as likely to experience a decrease in social independence. This webinar, hosted by Vision Australia, will help you to learn about daily living strategies, aids and equipment that can support aged care clients to live more independently and continue doing the things they love. If you work as a RAS or ACAT assessor, this session will support you to complete the Home Support/comprehensive Assessment and to better understand the supports available for vision-impaired clients. During the webinar you will learn about:
• Common eye conditions and their impact on vision
• Impacts of vision loss on daily living activities
• Services, aids and equipment useful for people with blindness or low vision and
• Selecting the relevant service types when referring vision-impaired clients for appropriate services.
