Online/Printable/Mailed - 4 Contact Hours - Description: Impairment of the vision and hearing senses in children can have a pervasive impact on a range of childhood occupations across all environmental contexts. This entry-level course for occupational therapists and assistants begins with a discussion of children with vision impairment and the functional implications of their vision loss on their everyday lives. It then moves onto a discussion of children with hearing impairment and the effects that hearing loss has on children as social beings. At the end, particular attention is paid to children with dual sensory impairment and the unique manifestations this condition can present. Each section briefly addresses strategies that occupational therapists can employ to enhance their in-tervention with children with sensory impairment.
