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 resources.

This course is offered for 1.25 AOTA CEUs
This course is offered for 12.5 MBPT Hours, Category 1, Approval #3981

Participant comments

"Excellent - in all my years of continuing ed, I rate this very high, especially for usable therapy suggestions."

"The Tx suggestions were very concrete and applicable. Many conferences give vague suggestions."

"I appreciate that both presenters were willing to answer questions throughout the session, and further explain any information needed."

"All course materials and lectures were excellent. The speakers were engaging and interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed both speakers and I feel the information is relevant and realistic."

"Every OT needs to come to this course if they are working in peds. It seems like (the) workshop was two separate workshops. Great information. Best workshop I've been to in a long time."

"I very much appreciate the experience and knowledge base that the presenters brought to the workshop. Excellent workshop. Very valuable to my practice."
