Description

Vision plays a crucial role in attention, learning, and motor skill development but subtle issues often get overlooked. When this happens, kids have to work twice as hard as others and may end up frustrated, appear unmotivated, demonstrate academic delays, or may be misdiagnosed with attention deficits. Join Kim Wiggins, OTR/L, author and developmental expert, for easy-to-understand explanations of the visual system, a variety of FREE resources, and examples of implementation strategies for clinicians to utilize in practice.
