At the 2012 NACBO Vision Conference later this month (July) delegates will hear about the critical link between visualisation, thinking and learning. Optometrist Dr. John Abbondanza will speak about how visualisation relates to Skeffington’s four circles of ‘where am I’, ‘where is it’, ‘what is it’, and ‘what can I tell about it’.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column]
Additionally he will speak about how visualisation can be incorporated into a vision therapy program and how it meshes with traditional vision therapy for oculomotor, accommodative and binocular dysfunctions. Delegates will hear how they can use visualisation to help patients with problems in spelling, reading, math, and studying and how it can help kids with vision related learning problems. The neuroscience behind visualisation and neuroplasticity will also be reviewed as it relates to vision therapy.
NACBO Vision Conference takes place in Melbourne on the 21 and 22 July. For details go to: www.acbo.org.au
