✅ Where Vision Meets Vestibular ~ Today’s Price: $4! (regular price $47)

Nearly 200 clinicians registered for this live event! It ended up being one of the most generous clinical conversations we've hosted. Dr. DeAnn Fitzgerald, OD shares her clinical framework for sequencing vestibular rehabilitation, helping you understand how the autonomic, postural, visual, and vestibular systems work together to support patient recovery. Learn why each stage builds on the next, why skipping foundational systems can limit progress, and how applying this hierarchy can help you make more confident clinical decisions and optimize patient outcomes.

Dr. Fitzgerald is a neuro-optometrist in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and former President of the Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association (NORA). 42 years in practice, approximately 10,000 patients a year, and a career built around the intersection of vision, vestibular, autonomic, and concussion rehab.

Throughout the event, she repeated the following clinical hierarchy:

Autonomics → Posture → Spatial Awareness → Ocular Motor → Vestibular Integration → Cognition

Her argument: skip a stage and the next one underperforms. Vestibular therapy fails when ocular motor isn't ready. Ocular motor work fails when the autonomic system is still dysregulated. The recovery is in the sequencing as much as the technique.

📍 Topic Covered:

Assessment & Diagnostic Tools

• Bernell Brewster stereoscope — clinical value and limitations
• Single vs. double Maddox rod — setup, head position, distinguishing fourth nerve palsy from skew deviation
• Verticality iPhone app — SVV assessment validation

Posture, Position & Pre-Existing Findings

• Correcting head tilt before ocular motor testing
• Postural clues as clinical reasoning
• Pre-existing strabismus vs. new post-concussion findings
• Impaired binocular alignment with intact fusion — the decompensation pattern

Micro-Vertical Heterophoria 

• The ~90% pattern in concussion patients within the 30–60 day window

Suppression & The Brock String

• When to push for binocular integration vs. work around it
• Strobe-light technique for breaking suppression
• Far-bead suppression and convergence excess

Sequencing & Integration

• Ocular motor sequencing — accommodation, convergence, divergence, pursuits, saccades
• When to integrate vestibular work
• Gaze stabilization as the foundation before pursuits and saccades

Treatment Tools

• Peripheral integration exercises for early concussion rehab
• Tongue exercises and CN 3, 4, 6, 12
• Vibration — hands, feet, and the Z-Vibe ear point
• Dosing, pacing, and recovery time as the metric

Sensory Regulation

• Peripheral awareness collapse — identification and reopening
• Light sensitivity, pupillary response, and the sunglasses trap
• Progressive lenses, aging, and the cervical-vestibular relationship

Specific Conditions

• Post-Traumatic Vision Syndrome
• Visual Snow and the insula
• GLP medications (Ozempic, semaglutide) — AION, cataracts, circulation
• Optic nerve recovery vs. compensation strategy
• Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and prism glasses

The Bigger Picture

• Ocular motor screening beyond concussion — the retina-as-brain reframe
• OT vs. optometric vision therapist — neurovisual rehab as a framework

Includes Bonus: Visual-Vestibular Hierarchy Reference Card ⤵️

Most of us know that vision, vestibular, and autonomic systems interact. The harder question is sequencing: when all of them are flagging, what do you address first — and what are you wasting effort on if you start in the wrong place?

This reference card answers that. Adapted from our inaugural Vestibular Roundtable with Dr. DeAnn Fitzgerald, OD, it lays out a six-stage clinical hierarchy — from autonomic regulation up through posture, spatial awareness, ocular motor control, vestibular integration, and finally cognitive load. The governing principle is built in: vestibular therapy underperforms when ocular motor isn't ready, and ocular motor work underperforms when the autonomic system is still dysregulated. For each stage you get what to look for and what unlocks it, plus a drop-back guide for the moments a patient destabilizes mid-session and you need to step down a level.

How to Use Eye Movements to Significantly Enhance Treatment Outcomes

In an exclusive, cutting-edge webinar destined to revolutionize your approach to patient care, we're thrilled to present "The Psychology of Eye Movement" - an essential exploration of how clinicians can understand and utilize the power of eye movements to significantly enhance treatment outcomes for patients experiencing dizziness accompanied by anxiety, stress, sensory reweighting dysfunction, and trauma.

By tapping into the intricate connection between eye movements and emotional distress, you will unlock innovative strategies to transform patient interactions and treatment efficacy.

Speakers

Join us as we welcome two esteemed experts in the field of neuro-optometry and mental health - DeAnn Fitzgerald, OD, and Emily Schottman, OD, LPC. With their extensive experience and training, they will guide you through a dynamic presentation that combines clinical expertise with evidence-based research to deliver powerful insights into the psychology of eye movement.

Schedule

Dr. Fitzgerald shares her perspective and treatment strategies from a neuro-optometrist viewpoint, followed by a 30-minute interactive Q&A session:

• Description: This session provides insights into a variety of treatment approaches to optimize outcomes in patients with anxiety, stress, and multifactorial sensory re-weighting dysfunction.

Dr. Schottman shares her perspective and treatment strategies from a licensed professional counselor, followed by a 30-minute interactive Q&A session:

• Description: This session provides insights into the use of eye movements to calm the nervous system through parvocellular and magnocellular visual systems for improved outcomes in those with rumination and catastrophization.

Key Highlights & Learning Objectives

During this 3-hour webinar, you will:

1. Discover the Significance: Learn to recognize the critical role of eye movements in patients grappling with emotional distress from dizziness and balance disorders. This understanding will empower you to identify these challenges swiftly and respond with effective interventions.
2. Master Treatment Strategies: Gain expertise in implementing cutting-edge treatment activities that leverage eye movements, sensory techniques, and grounding exercises. These strategies are designed to down-regulate the sympathetic nervous system, offering your patients immediate relief and long-term recovery pathways.
3. Enhance Anxiety & Stress Alleviation: Acquire practical skills to utilize eye movements within treatment sessions as a potent tool to decrease anxiety and stress, making substantial improvements in patient wellness and therapy receptiveness.
4. Optimize Communication: Learn to identify listening cues and verbal responses that open new avenues of trust and understanding in patients with anxiety, stress, and trauma. This skill set is paramount in cultivating a therapeutic environment conducive to healing and growth.

Do not miss this unique opportunity to reshape your approach to clinical practice with groundbreaking techniques that promise profound impacts on your patients' lives.
