Visual and Aural
Many children with developmental delays or reading difficulties may benefit from vision therapy, as can many adults who suffer from vision problems related to stroke, vertigo, work accidents, or mild brain injury
Even if an individual has 20/20 eyesight, he or she may have visual deficits. Visual skills are what we use to fully perceive and make sense of what is seen. Very few eye doctors have the specialized training needed to detect and to treat vision-related reading and learning problems.
Our visual therapy program is administered by occupational therapists (OTs) and certified occupational therapy assistants (COTAs). The vision therapy program is supervised by a prescribing Optometrist.
Cognitive, language, and aural rehabilitation is simultaneously conducted by a team of speech and occupational therapists.
Evaluation and treatment is provided at Advent using State of the art equipment.
You or your child may be referred for vision/ aural therapy if he/she:
- Has a learning difference/ disability
- Is diagnosed with dyslexia
- Has a vision development lag
- Experienced a TBI & Concussion (Traumatic Brain Injury from trauma or stroke)
-
