Robert Constantine & Sandra Stalemo – Visual Rehab Certificate Targeted Interventions for OTs, PTs, and SLPs
Whether your patients’ goals are to return to work, play with their grandkids, or travel the world, your hard work helps them progress toward their functional goals.
But when vision problems distort your patient’s world, it can feel like you’re working twice as much for half the progress.
Falls, mobility deficits, isolation, and dependence on others can lead to serious, costly setbacks. And problems performing exercises and activities often result in avoidance over time, severely limiting functional outcomes.
It doesn’t have to be this hard.
In this hands-on online certificate course, you will learn the latest vision therapy techniques and discover a powerful intervention framework that has helped countless therapists and their patients overcome these exact same issues for years.
Whether your patients are adults with head injuries or stroke survivors with visual perception problems, you’ll transform your practice with innovative interventions that help patients adapt to visual impairments, take charge of their recovery, and resume functional activities they might have otherwise abandoned.
Discover new ways to accelerate progress for outcomes that will earn you referrals.
We’ve compiled in-depth training from two top vision rehabilitation experts…
So they can give you their best tips, tools, and strategies for addressing even the most difficult vision problems.
This course will give you a full set of effective interventions, enabling you to confidently help every patient experiencing vision problems.
After this in-depth course, you’ll have the knowledge to…
- Identify (and use!) the latest advances in vision therapy
- Develop your own comprehensive assessment framework, so you can identify the root cause of patient vision issues and related impairments
- Utilize the most effective interventions available to help patients get back to their normal lives
- Combine multiple intervention strategies to get better results
- Create appropriate and reasonable patient goals
- Build cost-effective vision therapy “toolkits”

Robert Constantine, OTR/L, is an occupational therapist with nearly 20 years of experience in the fields of visual and neurological rehabilitation. Mr. Constantine is employed by the Pearl Nelson Child Development Center, where he focuses on the treatment of eye movement disorders in neurotypical and special needs children. Mr. Constantine’s passion leads him to intensive studying of the visual system and continuous searches for new ways to improve patient outcomes.
He is a member of the Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association, a unique interdisciplinary organization that brings together the tools of optometry, occupational and physical therapy to improve outcomes for patients with neurological diagnoses. In addition, he is the only occupational therapist to be a member of the High Performance Vision Associates, an elite group of sports vision optometrists. As such, Mr. Constantine has participated in sports vision screenings at IMG Academy, Hendricks Motorsports, and on the LPGA tour.

Sandra Stalemo, OTR/L, is an expert in vision therapy with over 37 years of experience guiding patients with vision and neurological impairments toward functional independence in a variety of outpatient and inpatient therapy settings.

In the years since then, Ms. Stalemo has trained and worked closely with neuro-optometrists to bridge the gap between diagnosis and treatment in functional settings, and she went on to develop a leading vision rehabilitation program at Sanford Health.
