Course Description

This 2‑hour interactive workshop is designed to provide Occupational Therapy practitioners with practical knowledge and skills related to visual screening, assessment, and intervention for adults with neurologic conditions. Participants will review eye anatomy and explore common visual deficits seen in adult neurologic populations and gain a clearer understanding of Occupational Therapy’s distinct and essential role in identifying, addressing, and documenting visual impairments as part of functional performance. The course will focus on how to complete and accurately document basic visual assessment measures within occupational therapy practice. A hands‑on lab component will allow participants to practice evidence-informed treatment strategies and apply visual interventions to functional, real‑world scenarios. This workshop is intended for occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants working in acute care hospital, inpatient rehab, or outpatient settings.
