From Eyesight to Insight – Visual and Vestibular Assessment and Treatment
September 21, 2018 - September 22, 2018
| $425
The Vision Kit – a toolkit utilized by Dr. Hillier & Mary Kawar
The development of higher-level performance skills, including reading, writing, and receptive and expressive language, is dependent upon a strong sensorimotor foundation. For many children unidentified difficulties with both the visual and vestibular systems can impact optimal performance. Participants will learn directly from an occupational therapist and developmental optometrist how to capture the subtleties of visual-vestibular dysfunction, thus enhancing participants’ ability to optimize treatment planning.
Take an additional discount of $20 per participant for groups of 3 or more individuals enrolling simultaneously.
