Watch internationally renowned expert and author in vision therapy, Leonard Press, O.D., FAAO, FCOVD, and learn the role of vision beyond eyesight. Dr. Press will show you how 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.
Watch this recording and learn to differentiate visual efficiency from visual processing as well as effective screening tools to identify visual problems. You will learn strategies to collaborate with developmental optometrists. The sample procedures that will be demonstrated 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.
