Trained OTs employed by the participating low vision multidisciplinary rehabilitation institutions in the Netherlands and in Belgium will provide therapy for older adults with DSL and their communication partner (i.e. the intervention group) according to the newly developed DSL protocol.
A two-armed international multicenter parallel RCT will be conducted to evaluate the health effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the DSL protocol from a societal perspective in low vision multidisciplinary rehabilitation institutions in the Netherlands and Belgium.
