Speaker: Karen Pryor, PhD, PT, DPT, CH, CFPS

Description
Visual abilities in children may be overlooked, under-evaluated and postponed. Avoid wait and see and begin successful techniques for dyslexia, strabismus, nystagmus, low vision or blindness.
Everyone should have the right to sight!
Learn how the other senses can be stimulated to cross wire the information through neuroplasticity, and skills to incorporate techniques and promote visual functions.
Improve treatment skills through…
- Review of neurological causes of visual deficiencies
- Nystagmus treatment and measurement
- Eye alignment exercises
- Demonstration of simple exercises
- Home program examples
The stimulation of additional sensations with neuroplasticity techniques could even allow relocation of visual function! You’ll also learn what to look for when the visual cortex has damage, all supported by case studies.
Let’s change our outlook on vision!
