Has anyone taken a CE that really focuses on child-friendly pretesting and gentle, play-based communication for anxious kiddos? I’m due for 12 ABO credits by June 30 and I’m hoping for courses that cover pediatric dispensing plus myopia-control spectacle fitting, with practical tips for turning the autorefractor time into a simple, reassuring game.
I’ve had good luck with 20/20 Magazine CE for ABO credits — check their pediatric dispensing pieces and stack a Vision Expo myopia session if timing works: Continuing Education. For pretesting, turn the AR into a quick “rocket launch”: tiny sticker on the fixation point and a 5–4–3 countdown buys you a steady chin better than candy. Small caveat: most CE only skims spectacle options for myopia control, and BHVI goes deeper but may not give ABO credit.
Check ABO-NCLE’s finder (https://www.abo-ncle.org/ce); Quantum Optical lists pediatric modules; turn AR into a ‘robot countdown’.
