Learning Outcomes
• Identify the basic neurological foundations underlying adult acquired visual perceptual dysfunction.
• Correlate deficiencies in visual perceptual processing with changes in performance of daily occupations.
• Identify client behaviors that may indicate deficiencies in visual perceptual processing.
• Select appropriate assessment tools to measure deficiencies in visual perceptual processing.
• Use assessment results to select appropriate treatment interventions.
• Formulate appropriate treatment interventions and progression of treatment to enable the client to use visual perceptual processing to complete daily occupations.
• Document deficiencies in visual perceptual processing and set objective, achievable goals.
• Collaborate with ophthalmologists, optometrists and other rehab professions to maximize the effectiveness of treatment interventions.

She has presented numerous workshops on visual perceptual dysfunction following acquired brain injury and is an internationally recognized authority in this area.
Her research has been published in the American Journal of Occupational Therapy and she has contributed chapters to several rehabilitation textbooks including Occupational Therapy: Practice Skills for Physical Dysfunction. She isthe author of the Brain Injury Visual Perceptual Battery for Adults (biVABA) and co-author of the Dynavision Guide to Rehabilitation.

Course descriptionThis intensive workshop provides practitioners with the skills to effectively evaluate and treat visual perceptual dysfunction in adult clients following stroke and head trauma. The course addresses: visual neglect and inattention, oculomotor dysfunc-tion, visual field deficits, reduced visual acuity, and disorders of complex visual processing. Participants learn to identify deficiencies in functional perfor-mance caused by visual perceptual impairment and design practical interventions to increase indepen-dence in daily occupations. The course emphasizes a functional and practical approach to assessment,intervention and documentation of visual perceptual dysfunction.
Who should attendAlthough the course is specifically designed for practitioners who work with adults with acquired brain injury, the evaluation and treatment principles are applicable to pediatric intervention. The course is taught from the OT perspective but the information provided is applicable to PT and speech language pathology.
