Course Overview

Working with children and young people differs greatly from working with adults with a visual impairment, as they are generally learning skills for the first time, not re-learning a task that they already know and understand. You will explore key issues of child development, in relation to understanding the medical and functional implications of children growing up with a visual impairment. The course is a blend of face-to-face teaching, supported with considerable interactive online materials and resources through the university's Virtual Learning Environment - Moodle. Practice competencies will need to be demonstrated through a dedicated 20-day habilitation practice placement.

General Eligibility

The key entry requirement for the BSc (Hons) programs will be the attainment of level 4 and 5 qualifications in Rehabilitation Work (Visual Impairment).
