Greetings!

I, Dr. Teresita R. Yambot is an educator, scholar, researcher and optometrist practicing in the Philippines. I have been engaged in vision development since 2001. I was inspired in behavioral and development optometry after I visited and trained at the Civitan International Research Center and School of Optometry at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. I am the licensee of the Cooperative Education Service Agency in the Filipino translation of the New Portage Guide for the Filipino children, an early childhood education program that is used an early intervention program for children with developmental problem. I work with multidisciplinary health professionals that help children with developmental and intellectual disabilities

Me and my associates, Dr. Elena Borromeo, Dr. Verena Colobong and Dr. Mario Flores want to apply for International Membership. Furthermore our 2 staff Maria Pia Laurence Yambot , Nurse and Cezhel Macatangay, SPED teacher as International Optometric Vision Therapists.

I was a professor at the College of Optometry, Manila Central University since 1976 until I became a Dean (1990-1994). I then joined the Department of Health Prevention of Blindness Program Management Committee and became a researcher of DOH and University of the Philippines, on studies in eye injuries and with the Department of Education, common visual disorders
among elementary schoolchildren.

Presently I am a consultant of the Department of Education, Health and Nutrition Center. We train school health officers on standard eye examination procedure and know focuses on Cognitive Skills and Visual Information Processing to address Learning Problems of Filipino Students.
