Multisensory Processing With Dr. Steven Curtis
Course Description
Understanding Multisensory Processing and Its Role in Optometric Vision Therapy Outcomes
Multisensory processing describes the ability of an intact, well-developed brain to receive information from multiple sensory pathways and modulate these inputs for optimal identification of and reactivity to environmental events. This is a biological example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. When a brain struggles with multisensory processing, the individualmust be “deliberate”in place ofbeing “automatic” in activities of daily living. Developmental/neuro-optometrists shouldutilize multisensory modalities in their patient therapy programsto facilitate vision skill development and recovery. Moreover, it’s our responsibility to engage multiple sensory inputs since optometrists represent the most dominantone…vision.
