Description

When your patient wins the day, you win the day. And in those moments, you’re unstoppable.

But when your patient has vision deficits, even your most tried-and-true therapy protocols can quickly go off the rails, dramatically limiting your effectiveness and halting progress in a variety of frustrating ways:

Poor performance of tasks/exercises
Avoidance of ADLs
Increased functional dependence
Noncompliance with home programs
Reading/communication problems
Limited hand-eye coordination
Gait and posture dysfunction
Frequent falls

Here’s the good news. Vision deficits don’t have to limit you or your patients ever again.

Watch this recording and discover a powerful framework for vision rehabilitation that has helped countless therapists and their patients overcome these challenges.

Whether your patients are adults with diabetic retinopathy or stroke survivors with vision perception problems, you’ll transform your practice with innovative interventions that accelerate progress for outcomes that will earn you referrals.
