Having a solid working knowledge of how each sensory systems functions is important for our own well-being, but also for others in our lives & those we may support in different ways.

What are some common ways our visual system can go sideways & not work the way one might expect?

What are some less common and rare differences?

What are some things that can be done to compensate for these "sideways" times when this system goes astray?

How can we support people (and even ourselves!) who experience any number of these misfires with their visual sensory system?

Be sure to join in for a jam-packed one hour session to dig more deeply, explore, & gain know-how to assist and support people in your life (and, again, yes even yourself!) to live a well balanced life. You will be sure to come away with a deeper understanding and tools you can use for support!
