Functionally Assessing and Treating Visual Processing, Visual Perception and Visual-Motor Deficits - LIVE WEBINAR - 3 SESSIONS (Oct 07 - 14, 2025)

Functionally Assessing and Treating Visual Processing, Visual Perception and Visual-Motor Deficits - LIVE WEBINAR - 3 SESSIONS is organized by Education Resources, Inc. (ERI) and will be held from Oct 07 - 14, 2025.

Description:
This engaging course dives into visual anatomy as well as functional assessment and treatment for therapists in a wide range of settings (school-based, acute care, rehab, LTC facilities). Neurological insults such a stroke and TBIs can have a profound effect on visual skills, perception and processing. Additionally, 60-80% of children with learning disabilities have undiagnosed vision problems because vision is more than just visual acuity. As therapists, we may be the first to pick up on these deficits. Treatments, strategies, and tools to improve visual deficits will be stressed.

This course will arm therapist with intervention tools and strategies to promote functional independence and both children and adults. Case studies and labs will be used to solidify learning and cement clinical reasoning. A “mock” telehealth session will be provided to show how to incorporate these skills in a virtual setting and will include resources for coaching parents and caregivers.

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify common visual issues which can impact students/clients
2. Select at least three ways the visual system is related to sensory processing, and ultimately student/client function
3. Choose a strategy or intervention that can be used to promote improved function for client with various visual issues, given the case studies provided
4. Identify when to treat, remediate, or refer for visual issues
5. Contrast functional impact of visual processing issues and visual deficits on client daily activities
6. Choose a treatment strategy to implement that addresses visual processing, visual perception or visual motor skills.
