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.

Very Informative for both pediatric and geriatric populations. Lots of good ideas and a vast amount of information.

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!

This presentation was very well organized. You thoroughly covered all topics effectively combining both evaluation and treatment of both children and adults.

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.

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.

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.

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 workshop was well-organized and perfectly tailored tot he OT who needs t manage visual deficits across different contexts and populations. Thorough coverage of low tech to high tech vision therapy interventions. I have always Had a strong interest in vision and ow after this course I believe I have found my niche.

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.

This course was excellent. The material is all well organized and easy to reference. Information is pertinent and practical for OTs practicing in a variety of settings. I really appreciated the bits of humor throughout the lecture. Overall, I found this course to be helpful and I look forward to applying what I learned as well as a developing a working relationship with the optometrist in our facility to better treat our clients.
