I grew up in Pontevedra, and that's exactly where I started working right after finishing my degree.


In the optometry field where I started, I was fortunate to get to know a little more closely what vision therapy was, and I ended up convincing myself that I wanted to continue my training and specialize.


The COI master's program gave me that opportunity, and in addition to meeting people who are now family, I was able to clearly see my profession and what I wanted to dedicate my life and work to.


After a couple of years working in Madrid, as a good Galician, I returned home, and that was thanks to the opportunity that Antía gave me.


Now I work in my hometown with an unbeatable team, learning more every day about how to help diagnose and solve visual problems, loving the work I do and enjoying giving and receiving training whenever I can.

MAIN CONFERENCE

Working on visual perception with special populations


In our daily lives, we continuously encounter patients who, due to their characteristics, have special needs for carrying out vision therapy. It is important that we know how to adapt to each of them not only in terms of the level of difficulty of the exercises, but we also need to calibrate our way of communicating or choose the appropriate training method for them to practice at home in their daily routines and ensure adherence to the treatment.


It is our duty to understand the most characteristic traits of these populations in order to help them in the most efficient way possible. From giftedness to autism spectrum disorders and including attention disorders, we will discuss how to adapt our line of work according to the specific needs of each individual. ​
