Visual skills therapy

Visual Skills Management through Occupational Therapy is a specialized approach aimed at enhancing and optimizing an individual’s visual abilities to support daily activities and overall quality of life. Our visual system plays a crucial role in how we perceive and interact with the world around us, affecting tasks such as reading, writing, navigating our environment, and engaging in various activities.

These skills are managed with occupational therapy to allow the child to be able clarify what they are seeing. Via OT, the goals for the child would include exercises for eye movements, depth perception, and visual-motor skills, among others.

Therapy Sessions begin

Parents contact AKL inquiring about Occupational and Physical therapy. AKL does a 5-minute questionnaire to establish the patient information. An email is then sent to the parent advising of the next step. The email contains the requests for a couple of documents needed to begin the initial appointment with AKL.

Once the payment information is confirmed, we will send another email to the parent coordinating and confirming the evaluation appointment.

The parent will receive a notification reminder for the evaluation appointment via text, email and or a call. The information will contain documents needed, time and date of the appointment as well as the licensed therapist who will be evaluating the patient. The therapist might also contact the parent to confirm the appointment and coordinate the session.

The parent will receive the next steps via an email following up the evaluation.

The parent will receive a notification once the plan of care has been signed by the referring physician. We will coordinate with the parent of availability and amount of sessions that will be provided weekly.

Once therapy starts, the success of the sessions will be based on consistency and mutual feedback on the development of the patient.
