Join the Conversation, Multiply the Message, Gain More Patients!

Vision Therapy: A Potpourri of Educational Considerations
The goal of the presentation is to look at why vision therapy works, including foundational work and subitization/numerosity, spelling, reading and handwriting and how they can be integrated into the vision therapy session.
