Course Description

Prerequisite: None

VT/Visual Dysfunctions teaches a core curriculum of therapy which consists of a series of procedures which are not necessarily specific to any one dysfunction but which together lead to successful, happy and enthusiastic patients.

  • Who Should Attend: Optometrists and Vision Therapists.
  • Content: Core vision therapy curriculum, including hands-on demonstrations and practical instruction for managing visual dysfunctions.
  • Format: Small group, interactive sessions; therapists may attend if they work under the supervision of an OD, who ideally has previously completed a Clinical Curriculum course.

Vision Therapy 1 is:

  • Hands On: Individual procedures will be demonstrated and explained in depth. Your instructor will act as a therapist. Participants will become “patients” during the demonstrations. The instructor will demonstrate fully how to modify the procedures by changing the loading to adjust the demand levels to precisely the level needed to achieve maximum development.
  • Core Techniques: AN Dissociated and Associated Pointing, AP Rule, Balance Board, Brock String, Cheiroscopic Tracings, Coin Circles, Central-Peripheral Saccades, "Ninja Training", Eye Control, Keystone Fusion Games, Lightboard, Motor Equivalence, Overlapping pictures, Tachistoscope, Vectograms, VO Stars, Walking Rail, and Wallach Rings to name just a few.
  • Management and Administrative Techniques: Our instructors will share their over 100 years experience in running a co-management practice and provide you with the basics to get you started.
  • Case presentation and information on handling insurance. Each participant receives a complete manual of all VT procedures, homework sheets, procedure grids, explanations and all materials to get you up and running immediately.
  • The VT/Visual Dysfunction course is a prerequisite for the VT/Learning Related Visual Problems and the VT/Strabismus & Amblyopia courses.
