On October 2nd, our team was in Staten Island at Ilana Gelfand-Polnariev’s office giving a Vision Therapy A-Z workshop for therapists & doctors. We held another VT A-Z workshop on the 16th in our Southport office.

As part of Collaboration Cures 2021, AAPMD and AAOSH are coming together to create an experience not possible online or on Zoom – a live, in-person conference bringing you the latest in dentistry, medicine, physical therapy, speech language pathology, myofunctional therapy and more!

Live and In-Person Atlanta, GA — September 23-26

The demand for services which Collaboration Cures practitioners offer is more important now than ever! Patients will seek care to identify and treat the reversible causes of chronic disease and poor performance. Some highlights include:

• Alan Alda Communication Workshop
• Testing Lab Area
• Seven Keynote Speakers
• Multiple Full and Half Day Workshops
• Twenty Breakout Sessions
• Complimentary Opening Reception, Lunches and Networking
• The Breathe Outlook Workshop – Learn & Participate in Multi-center Research

Dr. Schulman will be giving a lecture on Concepts in Behavioral/ Neural Optometry on Saturday, September 25, 2021

We live in a highly sensory world in which we are continually bombarded with information from each of our different senses. Although optometry has attempted to isolate visual skills for diagnosis and treatment, the latest research indicates that we learn more effectively with multisensory integration mechanisms that support intersensory interaction. Now we have the tools to communicate effectively and create true success with all patients.

With a better understanding of the pathways and the different systems engaged, we are more efficient and effective in treatment. By looking at proprioceptive, vestibular, touch, balance, interoceptive, auditory, visual, and cognitive pathways, function, and integration, we can utilize this information in both the examination and in treatment. The clinician utilizes a multisensory approach as part of the examination, decision -aking process, and in treatment, approaches to optimize a patient’s potential, attention and automaticity.

In this course, we will demonstrate the impact of a multisensory approach with a better understanding of the neurological underpinnings. We have developed a checklist to allow the optometrist to use this information in the examination and treatment. Techniques in the evaluation, vision therapy procedures and cases will be reviewed so that the optometrist can implement this information immediately.
