Description
This 2-day workshop provides a practical opportunity for
participants to interact with a sensory integrative occupational
therapist and a developmental optometrist as they collaborate
on the goal of facilitating optimum performance in children
with movement and vision issues. Speakers will reveal
and clarify some of the mysteries of previously ambiguous
performance issues in childhood. Participants will develop
a broader net for capturing the subtleties of visual-vestibular
behavior by gaining insight into underlying causes.
Hands-on experience will provide ample opportunity for
participants to learn how to administer a vision screening
examination. Comprehensive treatment protocols, including
the Kawar Oculo-Vestibular Protocol, will be shared so
that therapists are exposed to a broad range of practical,
innovative, sequential vestibular-visual activities and
exercises for use with their clients.
Included in the tuition are a vision screening kit, which
participants receive and use at the workshop (a $45 value)
and a CD-ROM containing valuable resouces.
Objectives: Participants will be able to
1. Administer a vision screening examination.
2. Refer clients for optometric evaluation effectively
using standardized criteria.
3. Demonstrate powerful treatment strategies that utilize
the vestibular- oculomotor-cervical triad.
4. Describe the paradigm shift that indicates that functional
performance is driven by vision and movement.
