I am a PT and gave >30 years experience working with a variety of diagnoses and age groups. I attended this seminar for increased awareness in the area of visual deficits. Eve tough the workshop is geared toward OT treatment, many of the techniques can be incorporated into the PT scope of rehabilitation.
Dr. Scheiman was organized and presented material extremely clearly with good examples and practical applications and solutions. Plus his "laughter breaks" were much appreciated. I could tell he knows his material "inside-out".
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.
- Lots was learned and I appreciated your sense of humor. - Great value for the money. - Good structure of handouts. - Great presenter.
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 is a great teacher, able to deliver a comprehensive, precise lecture about the topic. It is clear, direct and practical. I like the breaks in between with humor. That really helps to refresh the mind.
The speaker, Dr. Scheiman, is the total package. He was very informative and knowledgeable, not to mention the humor that he puts in between the lecture that keeps me alert and attentive. Overall, the lecture inspired me to do more with my future clients.
Great workshop - very practical and useful information. You were very easy to listen to and the handbook and resources were very helpful.
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.
This was a great conference. I appreciate the time spent on intervention techniques as well as the theories. The binder is a wonderful resource. Thank you!
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.
The amount of information provided in the past two days has been phenomenal! I'll be rediscovering for weeks - thanks!
