Abstract

The role of device-assisted vision rehabilitation is to recommend assistive technology to ameliorate vision disabilities that people with impaired vision identify as being problematic. “Competitive enablement” is a conceptual approach wherein individual consumers evaluate the functional utility of competing device interventions while performing a series of self-identified problematic tasks of high functional relevance to the individuals themselves. Adherence to this approach lessens abandonment rates and produces significant impacts in both functional and psychosocial domains.
