Course Description:
This course is oriented toward therapists and professionals seeking a greater understanding of the role of vision beyond eyesight for helping their clients. While the educational and health care fields now embrace auditory processing as distinct from hearing, we are still in the relative dark ages when it comes to vision processing. It’s time to move forward!
Attend this seminar and learn how to differentiate visual efficiency from visual processing, and how to screen effectively to help identify visual problems. You’ll also learn to collaborate with developmental optometrists and how developing visual abilities can provide a better platform for overall sensory processing and integration.
Sample procedures will be given in an interactive workshop format that will enable you to help a wide variety of patients having difficulty with visual processing. This course will leave you with a new and exciting perspective on visual processing and therapy.
