Fundierte Ergotherapie bei eingeschränktem Sehen – AOTA-Leitlinie: Ältere Menschen mit Sehbeeinträchtigungen

Die American Association of Occupational Therapy (AOTA) hat 2020 die „Occupational Therapy Practice Guidelines for Older Adults with Low Vision“ aktualisiert. Die Leitlinie wertet vorhandene Evidenz aus und leitet daraus Empfehlungen ab. Sie bietet Ergotherapeut*innen eine Orientierung, wie sie mit betroffenen älteren Menschen umgehen können. Florence Kranz stellt ausgewählte Empfehlungen näher vor.
