This 1-hour course will provide a guide to pediatric vision care for special needs populations. Participants will learn to optimize the clinical journey for special needs pediatric patients (including Down Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Cerebral Palsy) from first contact to lens dispensing. Key areas include administrative scheduling and sensory intake pre-planning, technician-led objective testing workarounds, opticianry-specific frame selection for pediatric skeletal dysmorphology, and staff compliance with federal disability laws (ADA, IDEA, Section 504).
