This was a great workshop. I feel that you provided information I can begin using in the clinic immediately as well as information for future program development.
I am grateful to learn more about how to treat visual problems - and I learned much more than I expected including how to look for and recognize visual problems and how they affect things. I wish I had known this several years ago. Dr. Scheiman has a great teaching style and I enjoyed the interspersed "other things" to help keep my concentration going.
The materiel provided in this two=day workshop gave a great overview of the components of visual functioning, difference of remediation and compensation and normative data for screenings to help with generating referrals to get work-up/therapy/intervention. The lecture was informative and utilized intelligent humor, too! Mitchell was very generous with treatment ideas, compensation strategies, practical information. Fantastic workshop that empowered me immediately!
The course content was full of practical and immediate use intervention strategies - this is what we (OTs) need!
I really enjoyed this course! I appreciated your cooperative and collaborative approach with OTs. Very practical and relevant information given. Thank you!
This was one of the best workshops I've been to in any subject. I have a strong interest to return to my hospital and organize our team to incorporate vision screening and treatment into our program.
This was an excellent workshop - one of the best I have ever taken! It was well-organized, logical, comprehensive, and entertaining. I learned a great deal about the visual system, its impact on our clients' functional performance of daily living activities, ways to screen for visual problems, and a wealth of techniques for intervention. Very informative and practical - thank you!
Mitch is a very engaging speaker. because his wife is an OT, he is able to effectively relate the information to clinical application. He understands the role of OT in vision rehab programs. Dr. Scheiman spent more than half the seminar focusing on intervention - the reason we come to continuing education conferences. He gave me the resources to go back to my clinic and inexpensively implement low vision and vision deficits strategies. He even gave me information about the ICD-9 codes and treatment codes.
Very Informative for both pediatric and geriatric populations. Lots of good ideas and a vast amount of information.
- Lots was learned and I appreciated your sense of humor. - Great value for the money. - Good structure of handouts. - Great presenter.
I was never bored, Dr. Scheiman keeps it lively with great quips and interesting facts along with very understandable information on visual deficits. I truly appreciate the education.
Great workshop - very practical and useful information. You were very easy to listen to and the handbook and resources were very helpful.
