title: An itinerant model for delivery of clinical low vision services in a rural community.
abstract: In 1976, a premise was developed that resulted in the inception of a mobile low vision service in the State of New Hampshire. Today, the New Hampshire Association for the Blind continues to provide low vision service throughout the state using a mobile clinical van and a training staff who provide training in aid use within the home. The model has proved effective in dealing with the special needs of the low vision population in a rural area.
