Visual Rehabilitation & Special Education
Visual Rehabilitation is the process of reinstating functional capabilities and enhancing the overall quality of life and independence in individuals who have experienced a loss of vision due to various factors like illness, injury, or genetic predisposition.
At Rainbow Children's Hospital, we have a specialized team of pediatric vision rehabilitators and ophthalmologists to conduct comprehensive assessments for infants, toddlers, children and adolescents, with the aim of devising the most effective treatment plan for their vision rehabilitation.
Our Visual Rehabilitation and Special Education services at Rainbow Children’s Hospital encompass the following:
- Vision Stimulation: This service is designed for children from birth up to 4 years of age, focusing on improving their visual abilities.
- Functional Vision Assessment: Geared towards children aged 3 to 10 years who have been diagnosed with low vision, this assessment aids in understanding and improving their remaining vision.
- Residual Vision Enhancement: This service aims to optimize any remaining visual capabilities.
- Total Blindness Education: This service is intended for children at a very young age, providing them with special education and strategies for managing daily activities in the absence of sight.
