Your next step
Vision in OT Practice
This session gives you the observation, referral, and modification skills. The next course gives you the structured, level-based framework that turns those observations into sequencing, documentation, goals, and a defensible plan of care — and it carries 3.0 AOTA contact hours.
The full path: this session → the framework course → the VPA™ assessment course. Each step assumes the one before it, so the language and the levels stay the same the whole way through.
