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.
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.
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!
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.
This course answered many questions that I had regarding my pediatric caseload. It also provided me with good resources to continue to learn and improve my practice.
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 course. Very informative. I feel as though I am ready to try these interventions on my patients.
Finally, a course that spends an entire day on treatment interventions. Very helpful and applicable to OTs.
The amount of information provided in the past two days has been phenomenal! I'll be rediscovering for weeks - thanks!
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.
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.
