You would never start working with a new rehab client without assessing them first, but visual impairments are often very similar, which makes it easy to mistake one for another. Module 1 of this online course will show you how:

• Vision is integral for most daily tasks - yet is rarely considered in treatment plans or reported by clients
• The impairments are affecting your current treatment plans
• To recognize red flags of possible vision problems
• To interact with your client's support system to aid in their overall recovery

Michelle takes you through dozens of assessments and easy identifiers to recognize differences between a wide range of visual conditions. She also arms you with the best sequence of action so no matter who comes to you, your treatments can be on-par with their therapy goals. 

You’ve already identified the weak muscle, now it’s time to strengthen it, which makes treatment much more familiar to your rehab setting. 

Much like another physical-based impairment, visual conditions require consideration for active range of motion and the direction of weakness when you dive into treatment. From neglect, to pusher syndrome and ADL's, this treatment session uses real-life situations, so you can see the techniques in action! 

In Module 2, Michelle Mioduszewski, MS, OTR/L, walks you through:

• Low-cost exercises you can use or create in your office, such as string reading and the hart chart, along with recommendations for advanced tools to analyze and compile data for better functional outcomes for your clients (and documentation)
• Easy ways to remember anatomy and how it interacts with your exercises
• Further assessment and confirmation tests
• Patient and family education for deficits 
• Proper documentation and goal setting
