Module 3 First 3 days of VT/Visual Dysfunctions
(Vision Therapy 1)
Course Description
For: Optometrists
and Therapists
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. 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.
This is usually the first course taken by vision therapists. The
OEP Clinical Curriculum faculty has been very successful at making
the new therapist comfortable with being in the same class as more
experienced therapists, as well as with optometrists who are new
to behavioral vision care. For a therapist to attend a course, the
normal procedure is that they may either attend the course with
their OD or the OD must have attended an OEP Clinical Curriculum
course at a prior date.
