Experience

I have been a Behavioural and Developmental Optometrist for over 30 years. Since 1990 I have focused my work on vision therapy in children and adolescents with reading, attention and learning difficulties.

The evolution of understanding vision and learning as an integrative process and global in child development, prompted me to deepen my knowledge of other areas involved in learning processes including:

• Basic principles of neurodevelopment
• Auditory Processing
• Visual Processing Neurology
• Vision- balance and the vestibular system
• Primitive reflexes
• Autism and vision
• ADHD and vision
• Laterality
• Vision and posture

I direct the AUVIS Children’s Optometry and Stimulation Centre in Andorra, dedicated to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of vision abnormalities (focus and binocular abnormalities, strabismus and amblyopia, visual perception, ocular motility, and other areas), hearing and auditory processing difficulties.

This centre specializes in treating learning problems, attention and behaviour problems in children to adults, using visual therapy (behavioural optometry), auditory stimulation (Tomatis Method), sensorimotor activation techniques (TMR and primitive reflexes) and Neurofeedback.

Work Areas 

• Preschool and infant paediatric vision therapy
