MAB’s Vision Rehabilitation Specialists hold bachelor’s degrees and have completed extensive training in low vision rehabilitation, case management, and co-morbidities associated with vision loss. Each regional Vision Rehab team has a consulting or on-staff Occupational Therapist (OT) and is supervised by a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW).
Our model:
- Supports aging in place while assuring continued participation in community life
- Assists older adults and their caregivers to maintain optimal independent living as well as to support independence among seniors who lack a support network
- Creates a flexible delivery system to serve individuals with an extensive range of health care needs, with an emphasis on fall prevention and disease management
- Creates linkages with eye care professionals and other health care providers
- Offers case management and consumer directed service delivery aimed at maximizing independence and reducing the need for more extensive and costly care
MAB receives referrals from ophthalmologists, optometrists, primary care providers, hospitals, Area Agencies on Aging, Senior Care Options plans, Aging Service Access Points, Councils on Aging, housing coordinators, social service agencies, families, friends and individuals. We also offer educational presentations and in-services for providers and community organizations interested in learn to recognize vision loss and make referrals to vision rehabilitation services.

"I have a large window in my apartment and the glare makes it very difficult to read. But the case manager from MAB showed me how to use special sunglasses to make it easier to read my mail. And she gave me a large print calendar to write all my appointments on—it’s worth its weight in gold."
