An introduction to the practitioner skill needed to provide successful Visual Therapy, including, but not limited to, preparedness and opportunity – knowledge and observation, equipment, adaptability and approach, understanding, timing, anticipation, enthusiasm, confidence, hierarchy and curriculum.
The introduction of the Vision Therapy Protocol we will be using for the rest of the course.
We shall describe and discuss child development of vision, posture and movement from babyhood, including the understanding of space, and how to move through space. This includes the development of reflexes in the body from primitive to experienced.
What will we see in the visual process behavior of a patient with a lack of appropriate, age-related development?
Are there special tests/probes we can use for developmental learning?
