Practical Vision Therapy for Neurologic Conditions: Clinical Decision-Making and Treatment Planning

Course overview

Vision plays a vital role in movement, perception, and functional independence after neurological injury. This 6-part interdisciplinary course - taught by specialists in optometry, occupational therapy, and physical therapy - takes an in-depth look at how visual changes impact function and recovery. Through clinical examples and evidence-informed strategies, participants will explore visual field deficits, hemianopsia, central vision loss, and spatial neglect, learning how to recognize and address these challenges in practice. The course focuses on practical approaches for screening, intervention, and environmental modification that can be applied across neuro rehab settings. Participants will leave with a stronger understanding of how to integrate vision-focused strategies into care to enhance safety, participation, and functional outcomes.
