When your patient wins the day, you win the day. And in those moments, you’re unstoppable.

But when your patient has vision deficits, even your most tried-and-true therapy protocols can quickly go off the rails, dramatically limiting your effectiveness and halting progress in a variety of frustrating ways:

• Poor performance of tasks/exercises
• Avoidance of ADLs
• Increased functional dependence
• Noncompliance with home programs
• Reading/communication problems
• Limited hand-eye coordination
• Gait and posture dysfunction
• Frequent falls

Here’s the good news. Vision deficits don’t have to limit you or your patients ever again.

Watch this recording and discover a powerful framework for vision rehabilitation that has helped countless therapists and their patients overcome these challenges.

Whether your patients are adults with diabetic retinopathy or stroke survivors with vision perception problems, you’ll transform your practice with innovative interventions that accelerate progress for outcomes that will earn you referrals.

1. Identify the latest advances in vision rehab and their implications for PTs, OTs, and SLPs.
2. Demonstrate a comprehensive assessment, identifying and differentiating root causes of vision deficits and related functional impairment.
3. Demonstrate the most effective interventions available for managing vision deficits, restoring function, and improving safety.
4. Outline multidisciplinary strategies that combine multiple interventions for better outcomes.
5. Design effective, innovative plans of care for a wide range of vision diagnoses and functional impairments.
6. Apply the assessments and interventions discussed in this seminar to a series of interactive case scenarios.
