It is very important that we provide as much data as we can to support a well rounded, accurate, and current scope of all the qualifications and details around these professions as we can.

I am excited to share that AER is collaborating with O*NET, the Occupational Information Network, on an important project aimed at updating the professional listing for Low Vision Therapists, Orientation and Mobility Specialists, and Vision Rehabilitation Therapists (29-1122.01<http://clicks.memberclicks-mail.net/ls/click?upn=u001.zQMtDyzPkxw9dikwotiIn…>). This project is supported by the U.S. Department of Labor and seeks to gather occupational information for approximately 1,000 occupations, including ours. As part of this initiative, AER has been asked to develop a list of experts. We kindly request your participation in a brief survey to facilitate this process. To build our expert list, we need the names and contact information of Low Vision Therapists, Orientation and Mobility Specialists, and Vision Rehabilitation Therapists who have a minimum of five years’ experience providing services to individuals who are blind or have low vision. We also value the invaluable input from Teachers of Students with Visual Impairments and Assistive Technology Instructional Specialists for Individuals with Visual Impairments, and we encourage your participation in the survey as well. Survey Link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DSZWVZT<http://clicks.memberclicks-mail.net/ls/click?upn=u001.zQMtDyzPkxw9dikwotiIn…> Deadline: December 20, 2024 From the names of experts provided, a random sample will be selected, and those chosen will be contacted in early 2025 by O*NET and RTI International to request their participation in completing a set of questionnaires about their work. To better understand what this entails, you can view an example questionnaire here: Example Questionnaire<http://clicks.memberclicks-mail.net/ls/click?upn=u001.zQMtDyzPkxw9dikwotiIn…>. Your insights and expertise are crucial in ensuring that our professional listings accurately reflect the roles and skills of our members. The results from the O*NET survey may reveal the need to create individual listings for each profession, rather than grouping them together. This change could significantly enhance clarity and representation for our diverse roles within the field. In addition to our membership, AER will be reaching out to other organizations to share this project and seek additional participants. For more information about O*NET and the essential work they do, please visit their websites at www.onetonline.org<http://clicks.memberclicks-mail.net/ls/click?upn=u001.zQMtDyzPkxw9dikwotiIn…> and www.onetcenter.org<http://clicks.memberclicks-mail.net/ls/click?upn=u001.zQMtDyzPkxw9dikwotiIn…>. Thank you for your commitment to our mission and your continued support. Together, we can enhance the representation of our professions and contribute valuable insights to the O*NET program.

Pioneering a new category of primary mobility aids, Glide uses real-time data from an array of AI-powered advanced sensors to understand complex spaces, map the best routes, identify targets of interest, and avoid obstacles to guide you safely to your destination. <https://lighthouse-sf.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f40e17a83bbae60b596…> Watch the Glide introduction video on YouTube. What Can Glide Do? * Holding Glide’s ergonomic handle in one hand and walking at your own pace, Glide will simply guide you by steering its wheels. * With obstacle detection for both stationary and moving objects, you can confidently navigate high-traffic areas. * With its camera and sensors, Glide will detect and direct you to key waypoints and line-of-sight targets and apply its haptic handle and automatic braking system when you arrive. * As you walk, voice feedback keeps you updated on relevant details within your environment. * Pre-program your most frequent routes or simply start walking without a set destination in mind. Glide will keep you on a path & avoid obstacles. Demo Day The Glide team is thrilled to invite our Bay Area community to join us for a unique opportunity to meet the team, hear from our founder, ask questions and get your hands on the latest Glide prototype. This is also a chance to meet fellow Gliders and connect with our incredible community of supporters, advocates, friends and more!
