Description

Therapists who test memory and thinking in clients who cannot see or hear well often doubt their own skill at it. Shirley Dumassais and Walter Wittich lay out a five-phase plan in 2025 to fix that gap. The work starts with a review of past practice and a survey of working therapists, then moves to interviews and focus groups.

From those findings the team will build training materials and test whether they help in real clinics. Early phases are done and interviews are under way. The authors aim to give occupational therapists the knowledge and confidence to screen clients with vision or hearing loss fairly and well.
