at the seeing brain

We provide mobile orthoptic care for children and adults with visual impairment and neurological differences.

We specialise in functional vision assessments and personalised vision therapy.

 

​Our approach is designed for individuals who are non-speaking, minimally verbal, or have complex needs. We use gentle observation, simple tools, and everyday activities to understand how a person uses their vision in daily life—and how vision supports connection, attention, and participation.

Support that’s built around you

We provide vision therapy based on individual strengths, needs, and goals. By coaching parents and caregivers, we build consistent strategies that support lasting change, alongside families, educators, and health professionals.

Understanding How You See

A functional vision assessment isn’t just about eyesight — it’s about what we do with what we see.
It looks at how vision impacts learning, moving through spaces, and participating in everyday life.
Assessments take place in familiar environments like the home, school, workplace, or community.
