SUMMARY:From Eyesight to Insight - Visual and Vestibular Assessment and Treatment - Live Webinar
DESCRIPTION:ETOIThe only Eyesight to Insight webinar offering for 2021 – Enroll Today!\n \nIn this video\, Mary Kawar discusses the benefits of occupational therapy collaborating with developmental optometry to address vestibular-visual difficulties.\n  \n \nAdequate functioning of the vestibular and visual systems is key to many aspects of functional participation and engagement in meaningful occupations. In this video\, Mary Kawar discusses a research article by Goldstand\, Koslowe\, and Parush (2005) examining academic performance\, reading abilities\, and outcomes of visual-perception and visual screening assessments among seventh-grade students.\nGoldstand\, S.\, Koslowe\, K. C.\, and Parush\, S. (2005). Vision\, Visual-Information Processing\, and Academic Performance Among Seventh-Grade Schoolchildren: A More Significant Relationship Than We Thought?

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. \nVital Links has created a Vision Kit to compliment this course. The instructors will refer to and discuss the items included in the Vision Kit throughout the course. Though not required to attend the course\, the items included in this kit will aid in assessing a person’s vision and will prove beneficial when implementing strategies learned during the course into your own clinical practice.
