Abstract
Occupational therapy is concerned with a person’s ability to participate in desired life tasks, including caring for one’s self, working, going to school, playing, and living independently. If a person’s ability to perform these tasks is affected by an illness, disease, or disability, occupational therapy can be important in improving the individual’s quality of life. 1 The premise of this book is that, given the high prevalence of vision disorders in the patients they serve, occupational therapists must understand the complexity and importance of vision and how visual deficits can interfere with occupational therapy, to be maximally effective in achieving these goals.
