Chronic Care Challenges™ Simulation Tools Kit
PRODUCT DETAILS
A unique approach for learning about and understanding sensory and functional impairments. Based on education theory that supports the value of simulation experiences. Use of this kit dramatically presents vital information that helps students understand the impact of sensory and functional impairments. Includes a complete training manual with information about the causes of various sensory and functional impairments as well as reproducible tip sheets explaining how to work with those who have impairments; six pair of simulation glasses that illustrate cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, retinopathy, hemianopsia, and detached retina; a compact disc that takes listeners through a range of hearing loss frequencies; tools for mimicking the impact of impaired fine motor skills caused by such conditions as arthritis and Parkinson’s disease; directions for creating simulation experiences demonstrating the impact of changes in taste and smell; and advice for creating walking impairment conditions commonly experienced by people with arthritis, osteoporosis, or neurologic conditions.
