An OTA is working with an elderly client who is experiencing low vision after a CVA. The client has a favorite room that she enjoys knitting in and is upset that she is no longer able to perform this task because there is not enough light for her to see her knitting needles. What strategy would most likely benefit this client?

Placing a lamp by her chair to provide more light would benefit this client by increasing the amount of light available for her to see her knitting needles. This could allow her to continue engaging in her favorite hobby and maintain her sense of independence and enjoyment. The other options (moving to a different room, looking into contrasting colors, and sitting outside) may not address the client's specific issue with low vision and lack of light, and may not be practical or desirable for the client.
