Maximize Your Vision with Low Vision Therapy & Rehab

Are you struggling to read your mail, watch television, recognize faces, or engage in the daily activities you love — even with stronger glasses? If your eye care provider has told you that nothing more can be done from a medical standpoint, Low Vision Therapy & Rehab may be your next step toward meaningful improvement.

Low vision therapy is designed to help individuals who have permanent visual limitations — not correctable by glasses, surgery, or medical treatment — make the most of their remaining vision. Instead of relying solely on eyewear, this specialized therapeutic approach focuses on functional vision: helping you see and interact with the world more confidently and independently.

The goal isn’t to make your vision “normal” again, but to help you maximize your remaining vision and return to the activities that matter most.

For many people, this work can be empowering, transforming invisible struggles into practical solutions and greater independence.

Personalized, Person‑Centered Care

At the heart of this practice is a person‑centered care approach — meaning your therapy plan is built around:

• Your life story and daily routines

• Your current medical conditions and limitations

• Your home and community environment

• What motivates and matters most to you

Every client’s visual challenges are unique, and so is every plan. Before any strategies or tools are selected, your therapist takes the time to listen, assess, and understand what you want to achieve.

Whether your goals include reading, watching TV without strain, recognizing faces more easily, or simply feeling safer moving around your home and community, you and your therapist will work together to set meaningful, achievable objectives.

About Your Therapist — Dr. Cheryl Mott, OTD, CLVT

Cheryl Mott is a Certified Low Vision Therapist (CLVT) with a Doctorate in Occupational Therapy (OTD) and over 30 years of clinical experience. After decades of working as an occupational therapist across a wide range of settings, Cheryl specialized in low vision rehabilitation — a field dedicated to improving functional vision and quality of life for adults and older adults with vision loss.

Her expertise includes:

• Low vision therapy & rehab

• Visual retraining and eye exercises

• Compensatory strategies for daily tasks

• Environmental adaptations

• Use of optical and non‑optical visual aids

• Instruction in visual technology

• Support for complex medical needs affecting vision and function

Having this extensive background in occupational therapy — beyond low vision alone — empowers Cheryl to address overlapping challenges that affect independence, such as mobility, balance, hand‑eye coordination, and cognitive fatigue.

In short: you’re not just working with a technician; you’re partnering with an experienced clinician who understands the full picture of how vision interacts with everyday life.

Approaches That Help You Live More Fully

Low vision therapy and rehab is not a quick fix, but a collaborative process that blends clinical skill with real‑world strategies. During sessions, a variety of evidence‑based techniques and tools may be used, depending on your goals:

Optical & Non‑Optical Devices

Tools such as magnifiers, specialized filters, reading aids, and hands‑free visual tools can be introduced and customized to fit your visual needs.

Compensatory Strategies

Learn practical approaches that help reduce visual strain, improve comfort, and support confidence — such as adjusting lighting, enhancing contrast, and using movement patterns that reduce visual confusion.

Environmental Adaptations

Modifying your home or workspace can dramatically impact visual success. This may include organizing spaces for optimal sight lines, reducing glare, and promoting safer navigation.

Visual Retraining & Eye Exercises

Therapeutic exercises help maximize visual efficiency, strengthen scanning skills, and retrain how your brain uses visual information.

Visual Technology & Support Tools

From digital magnification to adaptive apps and devices, emerging technologies can expand your access to text, detail, and visual information — quickly and comfortably.

Throughout therapy, your successes are celebrated and built upon — and plans evolve as you gain confidence and skill.

Your Independence Matters

The essence of what we do is empowerment. Vision challenges can feel isolating and discouraging — especially when traditional medical care has limited options. Low vision therapy & rehab exists to fill that gap: helping people reclaim abilities, reduce frustration, and live with greater independence.

Imagine being able to:

✔ Read your mail or prescription labels with less strain
✔ Recognize faces and social cues more easily
✔ Watch your favorite shows without fatigue
✔ Navigate your home and neighborhood with confidence
✔ Use adaptive tools that feel natural and intuitive

This is not about giving up on vision — it’s about retraining, adapting, and reclaiming function with practical solutions tailored to you.

If you’re unsure whether low vision therapy might help, a simple conversation can clarify what’s possible and what your next steps could be.
