 Pearls of:

- How to perform a visual evaluation with non-neurotypical patients including considerations for office set-up and appropriate examination equipment.

- Understanding developmental considerations regardless of age.

- Developing a hierarchical framework to assess current developmental stage of non-neurotypical patients.

- Setting accurate expectations to skill level achievable in this patient population.

- Collaborating on creative ideas for use in vision therapy and what to avoid when working with this patient population.

- Assessing performance through progress evaluation (subjective and objective findings) and the therapy process.
