Description |
This seminar is an introductory level course designed to help therapists develop a comprehensive understanding of vision and how vision can impact on the therapy process. A three-component model of vision will be presented stressing the importance of optical, visual efficiency and visual information processing disorders. A screening battery that allows therapists to test for the most common vision problems will be presented. Treatment options will be discussed at length including both compensatory strategies and rehabilitative techniques (vision therapy). A therapy sequence for eye movement and visual processing disorders will be presented. Case studies will be used throughout the presentation. Testing and intervention techniques presented will be applicable to the pediatric, acquired brain injury and elderly populations.
Day one is designed for those who are interested in developing a comprehensive understanding of vision, how to screen for vision problems and how vision deficits may affect performance.
Day two is designed primarily for therapists who want to learn how to manage vision problems in therapy.
