Private OT Assessment for Adult ABI
Hello,
I was forwarded this blog by Karen McIntosh. I know
this is a paediatric group but I am looking for an OT to do a home
assessment for an adult client with an ABI post MVA, in Red Deer, and to
support his integration into the community
and living independently by utilizing a Rehab Assistant or Personal
Support Worker. If you know anyone, I’d appreciate you passing my
contact information below.
Thanks,
Marie

Children's Vision Assessment Act
Alberta's Bill 203 - Children's Vision Assessment Act, was
introduced last week in the Legislature. This historic Bill would ensure
ALL Alberta children would have the benefit of at least one vision exam
by an optometrist or ophthalmologist before they start school. As we
all know, vision development is critical in behaviour, learning, and
development.
Vision concerns impact upon everything from reading,
to visuomotor and gross-motor skills, balance, coordination, and
cognitive performance. Currently, at best 20% of children do have an
exam before Grade 1, meanwhile as many as 25% of all children have some
sort of vision impediment that goes undetected/unmanaged.
You can read the Bill here.
All OTs are encouraged to share this news and
follow the progress of the Bill through the Legislature. You are also
encouraged to write to MLA Mary Anne Jablonski to voice your support for
something that is long overdue.
Dr. Charles Boulet, a consultant on this, is available to
speak with OT groups about the history of the Bill and its
implications. Contact Dr. Boulet at info@dvvc.ca.
