Please see this request for input. From: aer@aerbvi.org <aer@aerbvi.org> on behalf of Rebecca Renshaw, AER President <aer@aerbvi.org> Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2025 4:16:12 PM To: beckykeller16@gmail.com <beckykeller16@gmail.com> Subject: AER Seeking Your Feedback on ACVREP's Proposed Certification AER seeks your feedback regarding ACVREP's proposed certification and the related criteria and requirements for Certified Vision Rehabilitation Occupational Therapists (CVROT). Below is a link to a brief 10-question survey. The purpose of the survey is for the AER Board of Directors to collect information about the perspectives of its members and all professionals in the field. We invite any professionals serving in the field to complete the survey (AER members and non-members). The questions on the survey will allow us to sort the data to filter between members and non-members while gathering data to understand the full landscape of the field. The data will be reviewed at the January 24th AER Board meeting. Survey results will be shared with the membership. We will use the information to support our members and do everything we can to represent our professions as we continue discussions with ACVREP representatives. Please note: 1. The AER survey will be open until end of day on January 20, 2025. 2. Any professional in the field of blindness and low vision is invited to complete the survey (both AER Members and non-members). 3. The link to AER's survey is here. 4. In addition to this survey, AER members are invited to send comments to the AER Board at aer@aerbvi.org. All comments will be compiled and presented at the next AER Board Meeting. 5. ACVREP has an open comment period requesting specific, constructive feedback on the proposed certification criteria and requirements. All recommendations for expanding, adding, removing, etc., as well as specific certification requirements, will be considered by the Subject Matter Expert Committee when revising the criteria. The more specific the feedback in the sections of the proposed criteria for certification, the better. Visit www.acvrep.org for the comment period announcement and submit your feedback on the proposed certification criteria to comments@acvrep.org. 6. We encourage all professionals in the field of blindness and low vision to submit feedback on the criteria to ACVREP directly, as outlined in the comment period announcement. This AER survey should not substitute your feedback to ACVREP.
