Here’s just a taste of what you’ll learn in the course:

This section of the course, led by Robert Constantine, OTR/L, will give you a detailed breakdown of common eye issues experienced by patients, as well as an extensive list of effective intervention strategies.

You’ll also learn:

• The eye condition 51% of your patients will have by age 80
• Why you — and your patients — may want to avoid big optometry chain stores (it all has to do with something called “seat time”)
• One symptom you should never ignore in yourself or a patient, because it could cause blindness
• This eye issue is so common, it’s guaranteed to happen to you (and your patients) by age 40
• Why “What kind of glasses are you wearing?” is one of the most important questions to ask patients
• An unsettling problem your patient may not admit unless prompted (they don’t want you to think they’re going crazy)
• The first thing you should look at when assessing eye movement
• How to use a straightforward decision tree to make treatment decisions
• The “balance board strategy” that could literally double your treatment effectiveness
• A 5-minute scotch tape trick you can use to help your patients see better
• One thing you should NEVER do without a doctor’s order
• How to build a portable $25 eye assessment kit

This section of the course, led by Sandra Stalemo, OTR/L, will reveal common vision problems your patients may be experiencing and the corresponding treatment strategies for those problems. You’ll also get to watch practice labs in which students try out these intervention strategies in real-time.

• The subtle (but problematic) issue experienced by up to 90% of TBI & CVA patients in rehab units
• Why you should work to correct double vision ASAP
• One thing you should NEVER write as a patient goal (even though it has happened anecdotally)
• An important — yet simple — vision test you can perform with just a laser pointer, post-it notes, and a roll of tape
• The test whose score could indicate a 2.2x higher risk of your patients being in a car accident (make sure they get higher than 40%!)
• Not allowed to use prisms in your state? No problem! This cheap “hack” can get you the same effect, while staying legal and saving a ton of money
• How to use a black dry erase marker to clean up a patient’s vision — fast
• Why you should encourage patients to play solitaire with real cards (not on the computer!)
• How a handheld mirror (and a loving family member) can help patients improve important eye skills
• The “constraint” strategy you should use 90% of the day to help patients with visual neglect
• You might have to talk your patient out of using this iconic vision tool… but it’s for their own good!
