Please feel free to pass this on to any parent who has a struggling student (or any adult who describes themselves as a slow reader or as hating/avoiding reading) Vision therapy was one of the best things we ever did. I highly recommend a comprehensive vision exam by a special optometrist- not just any optometrist. The special optomotrist is usually called a developmental or a behavioral optometrist.

70% of what a child learns in school is processed through the visual system. Even a minor visual processing problem will interfere with a child or adult performing to their potential

Did you know that visual perceptual and visual efficiency problems, which interfere with learning, can be permanently resolved?

Also, we found PAVE to be very helpful.
