Join internationally-renowned expert and author in vision therapy, Leonard Press, OD, FAAO, FCOVD, and discover the role of vision beyond just eyesight. Dr. Leonard Press will walk you through learning-related vision problems present in individuals with Sensory Processing Disorders, ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and acquired brain injury as well as practical interventions to develop visual abilities with your clients. Go beyond the standard techniques of visual processing and start thinking outside the box with Dr. Press’ innovative training.
You will learn strategies to collaborate with developmental optometrists and walk away with the ability to:
- Differentiate vision from eyesight and vision screenings from eye examinations
- Identify children and adult with vision problems
- Provide learning procedures to improve visual processing abilities
- And more!
Plus, you’ll also receive our Development Processing & Therapy Series absolutely FREE! Expand your knowledge with functional, developmental and behavior approaches to vision evaluations. This 4-part series includes the full spectrum of visual processing therapy:
- Introduction to Developmental Optometry and Basic Visual Efficiency and Visual Processing Skills
- Visual Screening and Treatment: A Multi-Disciplinary Approach
- The Connection Between Autism and Vision: Hands-on Demonstrations of Therapeutic Techniques

Visual Processing Therapy:
Helping Individuals with Sensory Processing Disorders, ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia & Acquired Brain Injury
Dr. Leonard Press will show you how to differentiate visual efficiency from visual processing as well as effective screening tools to identify visual problems. Sample procedures will also be demonstrated, enabling you to help a wide variety of patients having difficulty with visual processing. By the end of this training you will become well versed in all areas of vision therapy:
Visual Efficiency
- The neurodevelopment of eye tracking, accommodation and binocular vision
Visual Processing
- How the eyes interface with the rest of the brain and body
- Vision problems as neurodevelopmental disorders
- Vision problems as sensory processing disorders
- Visual perceptual testing: Standardized and observational
How Developmental Optometry Relates to Occupational Therapy and Other Disciplines
- A. Jean Ayres, Brain Gym and developmental vision
- Collaboration between therapeutic interventions
- Signs and symptoms of undiagnosed or untreated vision disorders
- Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey (CISS)
- Optometric application of lenses and prisms
The Neuroplasticity and Neuroadaptability of the Visual System
- What goes wrong visually, why it goes wrong, and what we can do about it
- Is there an age at which it’s too early or late to intervene?
- Visual problems as early red flags for autism spectrum disorder
- Learning-based vision problems and academic performance
- Post-trauma vision disorder and other problems of acquired brain injury
Hands-on Demonstration of Screening Procedures
- PLRG the penlight red/green standardized convergence insufficiency screening
