All professions which deal with learning disabilities are coming to a consensus that a multi-disciplinary team approach is effective for most patients or clients. As optometrists, we are often among the first to test and identify a young person or adult with learning disorders.
Although we provide treatment for visual-perceptual, visual-motor and visual skills deficiencies, we frequently see the need for and recommend a multi-disciplinary approach to resolving the problem. We have scheduled an informal workshop to learn about the signs and symptoms of learning related vision problems and how, as professionals, we can work together in caring for our patient’s greatest success. We hope you plan to attend.
