If you work with neurologic patients, you already know this truth:

👉 Vision problems quietly derail progress.

They affect balance.
They slow mobility.
They disrupt self-care.
They limit safety and participation.

And yet - visual deficits are often under-screened, misunderstood, or misattributed in neuro rehab.

Patients struggle with navigation.
They miss objects on one side.
They bump into doorframes.
They appear inattentive, unsafe, or “noncompliant.”

But the real issue isn’t behavior - it’s vision.

Here’s the problem…

Even experienced clinicians often feel unsure about:

• What visual impairments they should be screening for
• How to tell the difference between visual field loss and spatial neglect
• When something is a red flag that needs referral
• How vision deficits actually impact gait, balance, ADLs, and participation
• What interventions are within their scope - and which require collaboration
• How to turn vision findings into functional, meaningful treatment plans

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

And it’s exactly why we created this course.

Lesson 1: Foundations of Vision Therapy

Build a strong, practical foundation for understanding vision in neurologic rehab.

You’ll learn:

• Key visual systems involved in movement and function
• How visual deficits influence mobility, balance, and participation
• When vision should be part of your clinical reasoning (spoiler: often)

Lesson 2: Vision Rehabilitation Procedures & Clinical Applications

Learn how to screen for visual impairments in a way that’s realistic for busy clinics.

You’ll walk through:

• Evidence-based vision screening processes
• Oculomotor and visual-motor assessment techniques
• How to identify red flags and determine next steps

Lesson 3: Unilateral Spatial Neglect: What It Is and Why It Matters

Neglect is often missed - and when it is, progress stalls.

This module helps you:

• Understand the clinical presentation of neglect
• Recognize how it differs from visual field loss
• Identify how neglect impacts safety, mobility, and independence

Lesson 4: Unilateral Spatial Neglect: PT & OT Perspectives

See how PTs and OTs approach neglect differently - and together.

You’ll explore:

• Discipline-specific treatment strategies
• Functional task analysis through both mobility and occupational lenses
• How interdisciplinary collaboration improves outcomes

Lesson 5: Understanding Central Vision Impairment

Central vision issues affect reading, object interaction, and fine motor tasks - but they’re often overlooked.

In this module, you’ll learn:

• How central vision impairments present clinically
• How they impact daily activities and participation
• Strategies to support function through adaptation and retraining

Lesson 6: Hemianopsia: Impact on Occupational Performance & How You Can Help

Hemianopsia changes how patients move through the world.

You’ll learn:

• How visual field loss affects navigation, safety, and ADLs
• Practical intervention strategies including visual scanning and environmental adaptation
• How to integrate vision strategies into everyday functional tasks

✔ Analyze how visual and perceptual deficits impact mobility, task performance, and participation

✔ Differentiate visual field loss vs spatial neglect through observation and assessment

✔ Design and implement a vision screening process using evidence-based tools

✔ Apply treatment strategies that improve visual attention, perception, and spatial awareness

✔ Integrate interdisciplinary findings into cohesive plans of care

✔ Build functional, evidence-based treatment plans using scanning, adaptation, and task-specific retraining

This isn’t just about knowing more - it’s about treating better.

If you’ve ever thought…

“Is this neglect or field loss?”

“Should I be screening vision here?”

“I know vision matters… but I don’t know where to start.”
  

…this course will finally give you clarity.
