Understanding the Adult Visual System Following Stroke, TBI and Concussion

2 Day Conference, November 8th and 9th 2025 8:00am - 4:15 pm both days

About this Event

Using the three-component model of vision, this course explores the research supporting visual changes following neurological events and the anatomy involved in these changes. The course explains the normal process of vision in an adult as well as common changes as we age. It then specifically explains the visual changes associated neurological events. Therapists will learn an assessment process for identifying and documenting visual dysfunction, then learn evidence-based treatment techniques to manage and, when possible, resolve these issues. This is course designed to allow therapists time to practice new skills as well as experience treatment techniques to better understand their patients experience.
