Vision and Vestibular Development Lecture Series

This 2-day workshop provides a practical opportunity for participants to interact with a sensory integrative occupational therapist and a developmental optometrist as they collaborate on the goal of facilitating optimum performance in children with movement and vision issues.  Speakers will reveal and clarify some of the mysteries of previously ambiguous performance issues in childhood.  Participants will develop a broader net for capturing the subtleties of visual-vestibular behavior by gaining insight into underlying causes.


Hands-on experience will provide ample opportunity for participants to learn how to administer a vision screening examination.


Objectives:  Participants will be able to

1.Administer a vision screening examination.

2.  Refer clients for optometric evaluation effectively using standardized criteria.

3.  Demonstrate powerful treatment strategies that utilize the vestibular-oculomotor-cervical triad (an essential component of all physical, emotional, social, and cognitive engagement).

4.Describe the paradigm shift that indicates that functional performance is driven by vision and movement.
