  • What You Can Expect

    Experiential exercises, real-world experience, and on-topic case studies make the material understandable and allow practical application to your professional practice. This provides cultural competence CEUs & ethics CEUs. Each module brings opportunities to expand knowledge in the interactive learning environment.

  • Why take this course?

    Many of those with progressive vision loss or legal blindness are not aware of training & support. Thus, many with low vision or blindness are forced unnecessarily to lose their employment and independence. This is at a great cost to them, their families, and society. This is not necessary, and as a trained professional with cultural competence CEUs, I can confidently provide hope and help prevent such incidents from happening. In addition, you can learn more about the ethical ways to provide Informed consent for any healthcare research and treatment, as well as ethical conduct. Many codes of ethics: (CRCC® Certified Rehabilitation Counselors Certification ceu, ACA®, American Counselling Association ceu, APA® American Psychological Association CE, National Association of Social Workers CEU (NASW) Code of Ethics, American Nurses Association CEUs (ANA) Code of Ethics for Nurses, and more) make it imperative that people are aware of what they are signing. The disconnected patient or customer is a liability to the healthcare professional. You will learn how to make forms accessible easily and at low cost.
