Abstract: 25 older adults with vision loss participated in a communication screen which included hearing, speech-language, and a self-assessment of communication. 64% failed at least two of the three screenings, suggesting that routine screening might identify older adults with vision loss who need rehabilitation in communication as a complement to visual rehabilitation.
