As a rehab professional — and not an ophthalmologist — you've probably never considered how big of a role your patients' eyes play in your treatment plans.

But humans are visual creatures; our very first line of communication with the world is through sight… and if your patients are struggling with undetected vision impairments, your rehab treatment plan may not fully address the underlying issue, leaving them at risk.
 
The good news is — like any muscle — the eyes can be
re-trained, strengthened, and even repaired.

All you need to know is how to expertly evaluate your patients' vision AND build a comprehensive visual rehabilitation program that works for them. So, we've created the training to help you do it.

The NEW Functional Vision Rehabilitation Specialist Certification course gives you the special assessment tools and practical interventions you'll need to develop a thriving vision rehabilitation practice.

With loads of interactive lessons and downloadable toolkits, including a functional vision assessment checklist, you will change your clinical practice in a powerful and unique way — treating the whole patient to truly grant them the power to thrive at school, at work, or independently at home, whatever your treatment goals may be.

Vision expert Charles Boulet, BSc, BEd, OD, guides you through the essentials of the visual systems and what you must know about treating any patient. With his expertise and the comprehensive content of this course, you will gain the confidence and knowledge to make a profound difference in your patients' overall well-being.
Best of all — YOU CHOOSE the tailored package specific to the population you treat:

Here's what your colleagues are saying:
"Rob had a very structured and relaxed approach that included very thorough review of evidence, then explanation from experience. He had a good balance of what's out there and what is important. I am a very non bells and whistles type of therapist and less is more both for PT compliance as well as PT's financial burden, so I appreciate what is simple and effective enough for PTs to do at home to improve." — Amy R, OT
