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

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.
Finally, a course that spends an entire day on treatment interventions. Very helpful and applicable to OTs.
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".
The course content was full of practical and immediate use intervention strategies - this is what we (OTs) need!
The most practical, comprehensive and beneficial vision course I have participated in.
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.
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!
The amount of information provided in the past two days has been phenomenal! I'll be rediscovering for weeks - thanks!
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.
