"I believe that my son would be in special education if it were not for vision therapy."
"I first noticed problems when my son was not reading. He had a difficult time comprehending printed writing and his eye tracking was poor. Vision therapy gave him the tools to know what to do on print. It have him the confidence to be successful in school and his social skills are much improved with his peers and with adults. He now reads 2 to 3 grades above his standard.
As an educator, vision is now my first thought. When I see a child motivated to learn but can't read, I think that vision acuity may not be the only problem. I look for decreased letter tracking or sequencing of letters or complaints of words moving on pages. Many times these are the children who get missed. Vision problems need to be ruled out before considering an education or academic problem."
Kellie Bernd, elementary school teacher and mother.
