This past year the Spiral Foundation has partnered with Desert Bay Productions to bring you a great series of online courses covering different aspects of visual processing and oculo-motor control.
Now we are excited to present the third and final part of this three-course series:
Visual Processing Assessment:
A Simple Tool for Healthcare Providers
Approximately 1 in 4 people have a hidden visual processing deficit that can cause physical symptoms as well as impact learning, memory, and behavior. Healthcare providers and therapists can employ a quick and easy non-normed assessment to determine if a potential processing problem is presenting as an alternate health issue. Because deficits in visual processing skills can mimic the symptoms of many other healthcare concerns it is important to use key client questions to uncover a suspected processing problem. Using an educational screening tool, participants will examine assessments for thirteen skills including eye movement control, eye teaming, focus shifting, auditory-visual integration, visual memory and more.
Learning Objectives:
- Use an educational assessment tool for several processing skills.
- Integrate new client questions into your practice, where appropriate.
- Recognize behaviors and compensation tactics that indicate a problem.
- Explain the importance of amblyopia screening for children of all ages.
- Evaluate referral resources for amblyopia.
