Testimonials and Endorsements "...we received the simulator yesterday. The young man's mom was absolutely thrilled. His teachers are having a hard time believing or understanding that he has a vision problem. (You know the scenario.) She was very pleased to have the simulator to show everyone at the next IEP meeting so that the appropriate accommodations will be made for him."
Nan Bulla, MEd., CPOA, CLVT
****** "Fork in the Road's low vision simulators are a great teaching tool: simple, durable and effective for the classroom and the clinic. Students quickly become actively engaged in the learning process and make connections between vision impairment and limitations in occupational performance. Families and team members gain greater insight into the client's visual limitations. Best of all, Fork in the Road provides excellent resources on their website to help practitioners design interesting experiential learning activities." Mary Warren MS, OTR/L SCLV, FAOTA Assistant Professor, Occupational Therapy Director Graduate Certificate in Low Vision Rehabilitation University of Alabama at Birmingham (Spring, 2007)
***** "I have now placed two orders with you and I have to tell you that I LOVE the vision simulators!!! I am using them in sensitivity trainings and my students are gaining an understanding of what elderly people go through and how we can assist them in their everyday lives. Again, thank you for these great products! My search for the perfect training tool is over." Valarie Drown, NYS Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Alzheimer's Disease Assistance Center, Plattsburgh NY (Spring 2007) ***** "...it influenced everything, your gait, your confidence, and your willingness to want to even try." Comments of a School of Nursing student, University of Wisconsin-Madison, when asked to describe her experiences navigating the hospital while wearing a low vision simulator (Fall, 2005) ***** “The low vision simulators … have proven to be very effective… By asking workshop participants to wear the simulators while engaging in typical workday activities they have developed some appreciation for the challenges posed by a visual impairment.” (January, 2006) Stephen G. Largy, Employment Counsellor Coalition for Persons with Disabilities, Mississauga, Ontario ***** "Fork in the Road low vision simulators helped students (and faculty) quickly understand the impact of vision impairment on everyday occupation. Students gained insight into the visual conditions in a way that simple photos or drawings could never provide." (Spring, 2005) -Betty Risteen Hasselkus, Ph.D., OTR, FAOTA.
