👩‍⚕️ OTs and Orthoptists 👨‍⚕️ New survey about current practice of visual perception difficulties after a brain injury: tinyurl.com/mpbebbmt. Results will inform new training and clinical tools. ⏳ 5-10 min 🏆 15 free posters about visual perception difficulties + rehab advice, see 🔽. Thank you!!

Achromatopsia poster. It shows a drawing of glasses. In one lens you can see letters in all colours. In the other lens, the same letters are in black and white. At the bottom there are come colouring pencils. A cartoon character is pointing to the yellow pencil and says 'what colour is this?' another character is saying 'yellow'. At the top is a post-it note that says '22% of stroke survivors will have some form of achromatopsia'. The main text reads: "This refers to a difficulty recognising or perceiving colour. The world can appear in shades of grey, or just look more dull. This can make it hard to tell the difference between similar shades of colours such as yellow and green. Difficulties can be restricted to either the left or right side of vision, or can cover both sides. There is no cure for achromatopsia, but managing its symptoms can look like: asking others to point out the colours of things, wearing tinted lenses to help with light sensitivity, using technology like apps to identify colour"

A lovely 3rd year student of mine is looking for participants for her dissertation on victimisation and masking among autistic people: CW for questions on experiences of violence. Any reshares/time much appreciated. No funding attached. eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...
