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.
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!
I've been to 2-3 other vision workshops – this one was by far the best I've been to. Very informative, practical, comprehensive. The handout was excellent, I could listen and did not need to write everything.
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.
As a COTA, I was concerned that I would be "over my head". However, Dr. Scheiman made the information very understandable and present in a logical and easy to comprehend manner.
I was impressed with Dr. Scheiman's understanding of OT and applications to our practice. This was one of the best conferences I have ever been to in regard to meeting objectives and balancing theory and practical application.
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!
Dr. Scheiman's presentation was very engaging and informative. Great audiovisual skills and use of technology. Great information that can be applied in the hospital setting.
I enjoyed the exposure to other aspects of visual behavior besides just low vision. The course was well structured and provided useable information that I can immediately apply. It was nice that you gave financial and reimbursement information. The handout was a very valuable resource. Great Course!
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!
The most practical, comprehensive and beneficial vision course I have participated in.
