Neuro Navigators Episode 13: Hemianopia: What Do Clinicians Need to Know Now?


Listen Later

Dr. Mary Warren, a leading expert in visual impairments and hemianopia in adults with acquired brain injury, joins host J.J. Mowder-Tinney to shed light on this common and often-overlooked condition. Together, we explore why hemianopia is so critical for rehabilitation professionals to understand and look for, how it can permanently impact daily life and participation, and what clinicians like you can do to assess and address it effectively. You’ll gain clarity on how to differentiate between hemianopia and neglect, as well as evidence-based insights into treatment techniques and compensatory strategies. Tune in for a conversation packed with practical takeaways to enhance your approach to vision-related challenges in neuro rehab.

  • Interpret the evidence around characteristics of HH that limit participation in occupations
  • Apply evidence-based, practical strategies to actionably address the client’s limitations in mobility and reading and participation within indoor and community environments
