Visual Processing & Functional Vision Training for Occupational Therapists
Many physical and occupational therapists work with patients experiencing dizziness, balance challenges, coordination issues, or difficulties with daily function and attention. Yet the role of the visual system is often overlooked—especially when progress plateaus despite consistent therapy or when visual processing deficits interfere with functional gains.
In your work, you may see patients with:
- Balance issues, motion sensitivity, or postural instability
- Slowed progress in rehab programs
- Difficulty with coordination, endurance, or spatial awareness
In your work, you may see patients with:

- Slowed progress in rehab programs
- Difficulty with coordination, endurance, or spatial awareness
These symptoms may be influenced or amplified by visual-vestibular dysfunction.
