Speed of processing sits at the intersection of visual neuroscience, cognitive performance, and functional rehabilitation. For clinicians working in physical medicine, sports performance, and neurological recovery, training reaction time without addressing the thinking layer leaves a fundamental gap in patient and athlete outcomes. This course addresses that gap directly, offering evidence-informed frameworks for eye-hand coordination training, speed of accommodation and processing, impulse control, and multitask reaction time in both clinical and performance settings. Whether your caseload includes post-concussion patients, traumatic brain injury rehabilitation, or high-performance athletic training, the methods presented here translate across populations with precision.

The three core modalities presented in this course, the SOAP system, Marsden ball and squircle protocols, and a published saccadic Stroop system, give clinicians a layered toolkit that scales from a patient in a wheelchair to an NHL prospect preparing for the ice. These are not theoretical constructs. They are systems developed, refined, and validated through years of applied work with University of Cincinnati collegiate athletes, pediatric TBI patients, and professional-level sport populations. Clinicians leave with frameworks they can implement in the next session, adapted to the complexity of their specific patient or client.

This course is designed for licensed clinicians in physical medicine, chiropractic neurology, athletic training, and allied rehabilitation fields who want to move beyond standard reaction time assessment and into the cognitive-motor training that complex cases demand. If you work with patients returning to driving, daily activities, or sport after neurological injury, or with athletes whose sport requires rapid decision-making under pressure, this course speaks directly to your practice.

Joseph Clark brings a rare combination of academic rigor and applied clinical experience. With a background spanning the University of Cincinnati athletics program and full-time work in performance neuroscience technology, he has built and published protocols used with hundreds of athletes and patients. His work with the Stroop system has been published in peer-reviewed literature, and his clinical outcomes with pediatric TBI patients demonstrate the real-world power of integrating speed of processing training into comprehensive rehabilitation programs.
