Hidden Visual Processing Problems: Think Faster, Learn Better, Work Smarter

Vision is more than 20/20 eyesight. Optimal visual processing helps us see more, think faster, and attend longer. Enhancing visual processing is key to improving learning and performance for school, work, play, and activities of daily living. How can we build up visual processing to learn faster and work smarter? How can we assist those recovering from concussion/brain injury?

This workshop will help you better understand visual processing, allow you to experience the effects of non-sight related vision problems, and introduce you to a program of visual skills testing and visual brain training. The program uses easy-to-learn techniques that you can integrate into your current therapies and use to enhance therapeutic success.

1. Describe the visual skills needed for optimal visual processing
2. Comprehend the impact of visual problems on performance and learning
3. Implement up-to-date screening tools for patients with visual symptoms
4. Define the role of the optometrist as a member of a multidisciplinary team
5. Integrate a program for visual brain training
6. Apply new techniques to improve visual performance that can be quickly and easily incorporated into your therapy
