Perhaps you recall from my presentation last week that I am
working on a book for teachers and OTs on the role of vision in
determining behaviour in the classroom, as well as a companion
manual to guide intervention. As I near completion of the first
drafts, I am looking for people to review sections and provide
feedback. Can you pass this along to your group to see if anyone
is available for this? All reviewers will of course be properly
credited and receive a complimentary copy when it is published.
Many thanks!
Dr. Boulet

Optometrists Recommended by ACH Vision
I
wanted to send you this list of optometrists recommended by ACH Vision
Clinic. The list is rather different from our list through the Peds interest group, and may be nice for therapists to use both.

DCD CoP Updates
Hello All,
We've gone ahead and cancelled the June (noon) DCD CoP meeting.
June is usually poorly attended (we are ALL very busy right now). We
had a nice wrap up with the attendees at the May meeting.
The next meetings are booked and are:
- September 13, 4:30-6:30
- October 11, 12-1
- November 8, 4:30-6:30
- December 13, 12-1
In the May meeting there were 2 decisions made that impact the whole group:
- The DCD CoP is now a Multidisciplinary Group - so feel free to spread the word about the group to any colleagues that might be interested (teachers, psychologists, SLP's etc). You can give my contact info (below) if they would like to be on the email list, or have further questions about the group.
- The group decided not to go ahead with an e-forum for now. Group members agreed that face to face Telehealth was working well, but we could review if we'd like to go ahead with an e-forum through the Family Resource Centre at ACH next spring (2013)
As usual, please contact me with any questions, and have a wonderful summer!
Regards,
Tammy and Brenda

Physical Therapist 0.2 FTE Job Posting
The Corbett Hall Early Education Program (CHEEP) is
seeking a part-time PHYSICAL THERAPIST to begin in
September, 2012. See details below.
Work and Research Opportunity for new Therapy Group
Dear Calgary Pediatric OTs,
I will be starting a
small group therapeutic intervention for reading and learning
disabilities this summer, likely in August. The program emphasizes the
role of visual development and will seek to remediate Visual Impediments
to Learning (VIL) as part of a more comprehensive approach to LD/RD.
The general approach will address many of the common concerns children
struggle against, including gross and fine motor coordination,
laterality/directionality, bilateral integration, sensory integration,
as well as a number of low-level and high-level cognitive skills that
support classroom success.
We are in need of
private contractors to work with families on a weekly basis and to
contribute to the refining of the treatment protocol. This study will
show metrics before, during, and after treatment, and will form the
basis of a new formalized plan for LD/RD intervention. This will include
a number of papers written to describe the process and outcomes.
We
are looking for two participants, but will happily entertain
expressions of interest from as many who respond. If you are interested
in participating in this work and research, please contact me directly
(information below). Include a brief summary of credentials, experience,
and professional interests. Likewise, if you have further questions
about this work or are simply interested in adding your name to our list
of private OT contractors, please feel free to write.
Warmest regards,
Dr. Charles Boulet
