From Eyesight to Insight: Visual & Vestibular Assessment and Treatment

Comprehensive treatment protocols, including the Astronaut Vestibular-Visual-Auditory 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. Clarification of the roles of therapists and developmental optometrists will facilitate in-depth collaboration between these professional so as to expedite efficient, comprehensive case management. This course has been well received by occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech/language pathologists, psychologists, developmental optometrists, and special educators.
