A low-vision Clinic located in the east wing of the administration building serves ASB students, students with visual impairments attending public schools and the Early Intervention Program babies. Activities of the clinic are coordinated by a staff member who schedules appointments and determines the appropriate steps to take based on the results of the examination. An optometrist who is a specialist in the use of visual aids sees students at the clinic each Tuesday, does a thorough examination, monitors vision for stability and recommends visual aids when appropriate. Depending on the doctor's recommendations, the clinic coordinator may order visual aids for students, advise parents on how to secure recommended aids, schedule training in the use of a visual aid or discuss the doctor's recommendations with the student's classroom teacher to insure that recommendations are implemented. For more information concerning the low-vision clinic or to schedule an appointment, you may contact Danita at 501-296-1810. |
