  Doctoral Capstone Experience

  I completed my doctoral capstone in the acute care setting with a focus on vision and neurological diagnoses. My objectives included carrying a 50-75% caseload, developing vision protocols, and putting together kits based on the Rancho Levels of Cognitive Functioning with items to be used to provide sensory input to various systems to help TBI patients start to improve arousal and attention.
