Our Referral Network

Vision develops alongside movement, balance and sensory processing. When a patient also needs occupational or physical therapy, these are the South Florida therapists we know and trust — professionals who share our commitment to helping children see, learn and move well.

Names You Can Start With

Families often leave a developmental vision evaluation with a recommendation for another kind of therapy — occupational therapy for fine-motor, handwriting or sensory goals, or physical therapy for balance and coordination. This directory is here so you don’t have to start from scratch.

Each practice below is independent of ours. Reach out to them directly to ask about availability, insurance and whether they’re the right fit for your child. If you’re working with one of these therapists already, let us know at your visit so we can coordinate goals.

Sent to us by one of these therapists? We keep short pages explaining what an occupational therapist or a physical therapist is usually seeing when they suggest a developmental vision evaluation.

Not sure which kind of therapy your child needs? Our symptom checklist takes a few minutes, our guide to vision therapy vs. occupational therapy explains where the two overlap, and you can always call us at (561) 462-1245.

Occupational Therapists

Occupational therapy builds the fine-motor, sensory-processing and everyday-living skills that vision therapy so often works alongside.

Referral Network

Physical Therapists

Physical therapy addresses gross-motor skills, balance and coordination — areas that overlap closely with how the visual system guides the body.

Working Together

Where Vision Therapy Meets OT and PT

The visual system doesn’t work in isolation. These are the areas where our work and a therapist’s work most often touch — and why we keep this network close.

Visual-Motor Skills

Handwriting, catching a ball and copying from the board all depend on the eyes guiding the hands and body. When OT goals stall, an eye-teaming or tracking problem is worth ruling out.

Primitive Reflexes

Retained primitive reflexes can affect posture, coordination and visual skills alike — an area where occupational therapy and vision therapy often overlap.

After a Concussion or Brain Injury

Dizziness, balance problems and visual symptoms tend to travel together. Neuro-optometric rehabilitation is often coordinated with physical and vestibular therapy.

Special Needs & Developmental Delays

Children with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy or developmental delays often work with several therapists at once. Vision is one piece of that team.

Start With a Developmental Vision Evaluation

Before any therapy, we measure exactly how the eyes track, team and focus — then build a plan around it, in step with the rest of your child’s care team.
