Help your clients overcome vision barriers to mobility, participation, and independence.

Why This Workshop Matters

Vision issues can quietly derail functional outcomes from falls and mobility deficits to social withdrawal and reduced adherence to rehab plans. This hands-on online certificate demystifies vision rehabilitation and gives you a practical framework to assess and treat visual problems that limit progress. Developed and delivered through our education partner PESI, the program equips you to integrate targeted, evidence-informed interventions that accelerate recovery and improve real-world function for adults with neurologic and low-vision conditions.

Learning Outcomes

By completing this certification training, you will be able to:

Identify common ocular and visual-perceptual problems seen in rehab populations and link findings to functional limitations.
Apply a systematic assessment framework (including quick, portable tools) to determine root causes and choose effective interventions.
Implement targeted treatment strategies (e.g., eye movement training, balance/vision integration, home programs) to improve safety, balance, and ADL participation.
Combine intervention approaches and set appropriate, measurable goals that support carryover across settings.
Educate clients/caregivers and collaborate across disciplines to sustain outcomes and reduce fall risk.
