Visual & Motor Learning (Schafer-Clay - Online)

Course overview

In todays practice more and more clients are being referred for visual-motor, sensory processing, and coordination deficits related to poor integration of sensory, motor, visual processing, and fine motor abilities. There are eight types of visual processing disorders and these clients struggle significantly with balance, postural control, strength, and daily living skills. Since many of these underlying deficits go undetected clients are slow to progress and master visual motor goals. It is essential to know how to assess and treat clients with these weaknesses by creating measurable goals and therapeutic activities which becomes difficult due to the complexity of the underlying limits. This workshop will improve your confidence and abilities in observation, analysis, treatment planning, and interventions to improve visual-motor outcomes. Upon completion, you will understand the hidden but essential link between treatment of sensory motor integration, strength, and postural control to improve visual motor outcomes. Through hands-on learning you will be able to confidently assess, write measurable goals, document progress, and improve goal attainment for your clients. This knowledge will allow the participant to analyze, evaluate, and use evidence-based treatment techniques to address underlying visual, postural, sensory, and oculomotor skill deficits to improve visual motor outcomes more effectively in any setting.
