You've heard about Fischer's work and how great it is for Behavioural Optometry, but the new ACBO Neuro Developmental Perspective (NDP) 4 day seminar is much more than Fischer!
Over the 4 days there will discussion about how we have moved from a Skeffington to Neo-Skeffington model, beyond functional, beyond developmental into neurodevelopmental and how the new research in Neuroscience and Neuropsychology is helping advance our cause.
The course will provide a research-based theoretical structure for advancing your model of vision and will lead into various discussions and workshops to explore topics such as operational organization and endurance, ego-centric spatial localization, rehabilitation, visual correlates with dyslexia, practice organization for Clinic-Based VT, and co-management with primary care practitioners.
Don't miss the launch of this important initiative. Hope to see you there!
