- Abstract
This capstone project aims to enhance the understanding and treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI) within the context of vision impairments. The overarching goal of this study was to immerse the student in the TBI population, thereby gaining a comprehensive perspective on their specific needs. The project involved a multifaceted approach, including an exhaustive literature review of contemporary neurological vision rehabilitation strategies, direct observation and clinical engagement with TBI-affected individuals exhibiting vision deficits, evaluation of the prevailing practices within a specialized TBI treatment center, community engagement, development of educational resources, and the creation of an educational presentation. Key deliverables included an observation hour tracking sheet, concise summaries of interviews with clinicians, a personal student resource manual, presentation materials, and a continuing education certificate.
The potential impact of this project on the occupational therapy profession is substantial. Foreseeable implications encompass a rising incidence of TBI cases, attributed to factors such as sports-related injuries and the return of servicemen, which indicates the urgency of advanced TBI rehabilitation education. Moreover, it highlights the prospect of interdisciplinary collaboration between occupational therapists and vision specialists. The absence of standardized protocols for neurological vision assessments points towards a need for a comprehensive framework in this domain. Furthermore, this project opens the door to the establishment of a
vision team leader
role across various TBI care settings and advocates for equitable access to vision rehabilitation services.
