Tactile paint can be used in so many ways. In this photo, I applied tactile paint inside the back of my child’s socks. I wanted to mark which child’s socks these are to be able to differentiate them from my other child’s socks. They both have the same colors and shape socks but the sizes are different. So now I will be able to differentiate which ones are for the older child. This strategy can be applied to clothing to differentiate color, size, person it belongs to, and so much more. The important thing is to pick a system that works for the client!

As occupational therapists, we need to understand the importance of lighting in improving our clients' daily activities and quality of life. Here are some tips to help your clients with low vision illuminate their space and see better:

1. Ensure that all areas of their home or workplace have even lighting.
2. Recommend task lighting, such as desk lamps or floor lamps, to focus on specific activities.
3. Adjust the intensity of the lighting to a comfortable level.
4. Advise them to lit can be uncomfortable and affect their vision. Follow us for more information about glare.
5. Encourage the use of natural light, but educate them to control it with curtains or blinds if glare is a problem.

Remember, proper lighting is crucial for our clients with low vision to perform daily tasks, read, and enjoy their hobbies. Let's work together to improve their quality of life!

If you notice any of these with a client, it’s a good indicator that further visual testing needs to be done. Definitely something to assess when client demonstrates uncertainty with functional mobility and difficulty with functional tasks 👀
