Pediatric Vision Assessment

$199.99 Standard

There is nothing more frustrating than suspecting something might be wrong, but not being able to put your finger on it.  

Today’s children are falling through the cracks of the medical system with little to no support or appropriate follow up for vision related concerns.  What you don’t know about vision is costing you, costing your clients.  
This program gently introduces you to the critically important world of vision assessment for children.  From infants through to the school years, you’ll uncover the core concepts of vision development and testing including: 

  • What’s missing from common vision testing?  
  • Build your vision literacy!
  • Special age-based considerations for testing
  • Words jumping around on the page? Is it a reading problem, or an oculomotor problem? 

Understanding testing opens the door to understanding the various unaddressed elements of vision that are interfering with your client care. With the broad and deep impacts of vision on daily function – this knowledge will make an immediate difference in your stalled cases. 

While primarily focused on pediatric vision and development, it has been designed by Charles Boulet, OD, keeping in mind its relevance for both children and adults. The content covers a wide range of topics related to vision assessment, including comprehensive eye and vision examinations, evaluation of ocular health, measurement of intraocular pressure, and supplemental testing.

In addition, the module also explores testing for learning-related vision problems, which is not limited to children but can also be applicable to adults. It delves into understanding how visual impediments to learning and development can interfere with therapy, testing, and achievement. This knowledge can benefit professionals working with clients of all ages, as it sheds light on the impacts of vision on daily function and provides insights into addressing unaddressed elements of vision that may be affecting client care.

While the module is framed for pediatric vision, it includes valuable information that can be applied to adult populations as well. We believe that this module will provide you with useful knowledge and skills that can be implemented in your practice.
