Continuing education conferences for therapists
Joel H Warshowsky OD has practiced the sub-specialized field of Pediatric Behavioral Optometry for 49 years. As an Associate Clinical Professor Emeritus at SUNY College of Optometry he clinically taught interns, residents and lectured for 37 years. During that time Dr Warshowsky has served as Assistant Chief of Vision Therapy and Founding Chief of Pediatrics. Through his National and International lectures, articles and his book ‘How Behavioral Optometry Can Unlock Your Child’s Potential’, he has provided knowledge empowering Patients, Parents, Educators, Optometrists, Occupational and Physical therapists, Reading Specialists and Speech Pathologists to be able to affect the visual concerns of their children. He has been the driving force behind discovering and implementing the routine use of Yoked Prisms, which is now utilized world-wide. However, what sets him apart is not just his experience and expertise with vision and behavior it is more about his care, dedication and the love he shares with his patients, parents and associated professionals. Currently, Founding Director of ODA Vision Therapy and Founding Co-Director of ODA Vision.

Showing the single result
Dr. Warshowsky’s approach focuses on identifying and treating visual processing problems through vision therapy, not just correcting eyesight with glasses. His method uses targeted exercises and tools to retrain how the brain and eyes work together, helping children improve skills like focusing, tracking, depth perception, and visual understanding. The goal is to remove visual barriers that can affect learning, concentration, and confidence, even when standard eye exams show “perfect” vision.
Because his work bridges clinical care, education, and everyday practice. Dr. Warshowsky doesn’t just treat children in the exam room, he focuses on giving parents, teachers, and therapists the tools to understand and support visual development in real-world settings. That broader, collaborative approach has helped shape how vision therapy is used beyond optometry offices and into classrooms and therapy programs, which is why his influence extends well past his own patients.
In this in-person continuing education course by Theramoves, Dr. Joel Warshowsky guides therapists through the connection between vision and development, behavior, and sense of self, offering practical strategies to integrate vision’s role into OT/PT practice, assess visual dysfunction, and apply vision therapy insights to improve functional outcomes.
