Therapy Therapy The use of adventure in therapy has a long history that has influenced the most recent forms of adventure practices in the therapeutic process.

There are many questions that surround adventure therapy.

This article intends to outline the major aspects to this multi-disciplinary theory. ...more on Wikipedia about "Adventure therapy"

Vision therapy, also known as visual therapy or visual training, is a broadly-defined set of treatment programs related to the improvement of visual health and comfort. Probably, the best known form of vision therapy is orthoptics which treats binocular vision disorders such as amblyopia, strabismus, and double vision or diplopia. Other problems treated with vision therapy include difficulties of visual attention and concentration, which are said to manifest as an inability to sustain focus or to shift focus from one area of space to another. The ability to shift the focus of visual attention from one place in space to another is also a critical developed visual ability that affects many aspects of life including reading, most vocations and most avocations. Eye doctors may also prescribe vision therapy to victims of strokes, concussions, and head injuries, as well as sufferers from eye strain and visually-induced headaches. However, not all such therapy is limited to disorders of the visual system. Professional athletes, for example, may use vision therapy to enhance peripheral vision on the playing field or increase responsiveness to fast moving objects. ...more on Wikipedia about "Vision therapy"
