Very informative and well-organized! The course presented complex visual-motor concepts in an accessible way. I now feel more confident identifying red flags related to ocular motor skills. Great resource for both therapists and educators.

Excellent content! This webinar connected so many dots for me. The information on muscle tone and balance influencing visual skills was eye-opening. I loved the fun, practical tips for therapy sessions. I’ll definitely be revisiting this.

I learned so much about how eye movements can impact learning and behavior. This course gave me new insight into clients struggling with reading and focus. It’s amazing how eye teaming affects so much more than just vision!

A must-watch for any therapist or educator! The breakdown of visual processing and binocular vision was incredibly helpful. I especially appreciated the signs to watch for in children. The balance between theory and actionable strategies was just right.

This webinar gave such a clear explanation of ocular motor skills and how they tie into behavior and learning. The content was practical, engaging, and full of “aha” moments. I’m already using the take-away tips in my sessions. Highly recommended!

It was perfect. Dawn was engaging. She gave relevant information and examples. I would have liked a few more examples of therapy materials and ideas that might be used.

Dawn

The presenter was engaging and informative. Could always use more Q&A. I had fun and am glad I did it

Deborah

Excellent, engaging, knowledgeable speaker, clear, etc. Maybe spending less time on the checklists to prepare and more. I would have liked to see examples of therapy (videos), more time on actual therapy and therapy ideas, small group breakout session so that we could discuss our experiences and help each other out, networking with other teletherapists. Liked the platform used, very clear presentation, excellent, thank you

Dawn was very encouraging and promoted out of the box thinking. Too much time dedicated to virtual set-up vs. therapy with telepractice.
