Understanding and Managing Visual Deficits: A Guide for Occupational Therapists

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.

Dr. Scheiman's presentation was excellent, the manual was the most well organized that I have encountered in coordination with the presentation. The information in this seminar was just what I have been searching for in a vision seminar.

This course is a wonderful introduction into the world of vision rehabilitation and how optometrists and occupational therapists can colaborate and effectively treat so many people. I appreciated Dr. Scheiman's terrific understanding of OT, OT education, and OTs role in vision rehabilitation.

Great workshop - very practical and useful information. You were very easy to listen to and the handbook and resources were very helpful.

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.

Dr. Scheiman's enthusiasm for and expertise in vision therapy is engaging and valuable. This course certainly met all of my expectations. Also I really enjoyed that Dr. Scheiman presented the information as an optometrists with a good understanding of OT and OTs potential to VT because it is clearly demonstrated how to successfully interact within an interdisciplinary situation.

Overall, I have to agree with past and current OT colleagues that this is an incredibly engaging, yet informative and practical workshop. I just keep thinking "why didn't I learn this in school?" I acquired a serious tool in my professional toolbox.

This was a great course. Very informative. I feel as though I am ready to try these interventions on my patients.

I thought this was an excellent workshop that provided useful information on treatment of vision in any setting as it related to OT.

I enjoyed the workshop very much. Very informative, gained knowledge about a variety of visual deficits. I have a clear picture of the 3-component model of vision and how OTs can intervene. Thorough presentation with a great spiral bound book that I can always go back and consult. Last, but nt least, excellent sitting breaks.

I really liked this presentation because the notes and presentation slides were very organized and Mitchell was brilliant to include "auditory" and "visual" beaks. I also liked the fact that he allowed question sin between so that they could be dealt with immediately. Very appropriate for OTs and this workshop definitely met all objectives. It was really great and fun!!

I was engaged to the point that I did not look at my watch during several sessions. I did not want to miss what was being said and the breaks, both seated and freedom to move around were well-timed.
