The amount of information provided in the past two days has been phenomenal! I'll be rediscovering for weeks - thanks!
The course content was full of practical and immediate use intervention strategies - this is what we (OTs) need!
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.
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.
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 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'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.
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.
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 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.
Great workshop - very practical and useful information. You were very easy to listen to and the handbook and resources were very helpful.
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.
