It's Vision Therapy Thursday! 20/20 vision is but ONE of over 17 important visual skills required to function efficiently in school or sports. Children with reduced vision skills may work harder than their peers, yet be unable to achieve the results they seek. Their poor vision skills may also cause them to struggle to concentrate throughout the day. Vision therapy is an evidence-based program to effectively strengthen the specific vision skills impacting your child and has been clinically proven to increase reading levels, enhance comprehension, maintain longer attention spans and even improve sports performance. See a difference in your child’s school performance! https://lnkd.in/g8mMX2iy

The realisation that Visual and Cognitive fatigue exacerbated by over-exposure to prolonged periods on sub-optimally "Colour Contrast Calibrated" Display Screen Devices along with declining spatial awareness and sufficient eye-hand coordination to support cursive writing as a biomechanical and/or neurological feedback loop when constructing written work is impairing progress. Digital devices were always just a adjunct to learning as an aid not a replacement or alternative medium for the human brains first-hand experience based development. #PublicHealth #DigitalEyeHealth #AdjunctToLearning https://lnkd.in/ejr75saa

The other day, we had the opportunity to learn needle decompression, also called pleural decompression or needle thoracostomy. This is a life-saving procedure used when someone is suffering from a tension pneumothorax, which is when air gets trapped in the chest cavity and puts pressure on the lungs, heart, and other vital organs. In these situations, if left untreated, the person’s lung could collapse and they could enter into shock if the air is not given a medium to exit. That’s why mastering this skill is so important. During the lab, we practiced using a pool float and ribs to simulate a real person’s chest and the air release underneath. There are always creative ways to mirror the field in classroom settings to be more prepared when the real situation arises. Thanks to Karl Kellenberger for setting this lab up.

Jordon Fleigelman, my goal is to make our training as realistic as possible utilizing these “wet labs”. The three wet labs; Needle and Surgical Cricothyrotomy, IO insertion and Needle Decompression; better prepare you to perform these skills in a real world setting. Thanks for putting together this video.
