The Australasian College of Behavioural Optometrists (ACBO) will host a two-day conference in Brisbane from 20–21 June.
Headlining the 2026 ACBO Connect Conference will be optometrist Dr Curtis Baxtrom from Washington in the United States. A Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry and the College of Optometrists in Vision Development, Dr Baxtrom is an expert in visual development, reading, dyslexia, head trauma, amblyopia, and strabismus. He has lectured internationally and has published original papers in a number of journals.
On day one, Dr Baxtrom will review visual acquisition skills and visual information processing skills, enabling attending optometrists to help set the stage for reading, spelling, mathematics, and handwriting.
On day two, streamed sessions will be facilitated by some of ACBO’s most experienced members.
