Program Description

This two-day intensive workshop provides therapists with a clear understanding of how to effectively evaluate and treat visual perceptual dysfunction in adult patients following stroke and head trauma. This course addresses visual neglect and inattention, oculomotor dysfunction, visual field deficits, reduced visual acuity, and disorders of complex visual processing. Participants are taught how to identify deficiencies in functional performance which are caused by visual perceptual impairment and design practical short-term treatment interventions which increase independence in daily living activities. This course emphasizes a functional and practical approach to evaluation, treatment, and documentation of visual perceptual dysfunction.

Who Should Attend

Although the course is designed for therapists who work with adults with acute brain injury, the evaluation and treatment principles are applicable to pediatric and cerebral palsy populations. The course is taught from the Occupational Therapy perspective but the information provided is applicable to Physical Therapists and Speech and Language Pathologists.
