The Vision Development Team

Patricia Andrich OTR/L, COVT, FNAP

Patti Andrich, MA, OTR/L, COVT, CINPP, FNAP, is an occupational therapist, Certified Optometric Vision Therapist, and co-founder and CEO of The Vision Development Team. Her career has been dedicated to understanding how vision, the brain, sensory systems, movement, development, and overall health work together to influence how a person functions in everyday life. Patti’s approach to care is rooted in the belief that vision is much more than eyesight. How we see and process the world is closely connected to neurological development, movement, sensory processing, nutrition, and whole-body health. Rather than looking at one symptom or system in isolation, she works to connect the pieces and better understand the factors that may be influencing each individual’s function and well-being. Her extensive training includes occupational therapy, optometric vision therapy, primitive and postural reflex development and integration, auditory processing, sensory-motor development, and functional health. She is also the creator of Sensory-Focused Foundations®, an approach designed to help clinicians understand the relationships among early development, reflexes, sensory systems, vision, and functional performance. At The Vision Development Team, Patti works alongside a multidisciplinary team using a comprehensive approach that may incorporate neuro-optometric care, vision therapy, developmental and sensory assessment, functional laboratory testing, nutritional support, and other individualized interventions. Her philosophy is simple: **look deeper, connect the systems, and understand the whole person.** By identifying connections between vision, brain, body, and health, Patti strives to help each person build a stronger foundation for learning, movement, performance, and everyday life.
