Vision Therapy for Reading, Academic, Attention or Behavioral Struggles

Visual dysfunction can greatly impact reading, learning, attention and behavior, similar to how asthma or knee pain might impact running.

For example, many kids have 20/20 eyesight, but their brains struggle to effectively control and coordinate their eyes, similar to how children with speech problems have brains that struggle to control and coordinate their mouths.

Imagine trying to read with an inaccurate eye teaming or focusing or tracking system. The words might be going in and out of focus, go double or move on the page, all while your eyes skip over every other word. In our clinic alone we have treated thousands of patients with these visual dysfunctions which were OFTEN MISSED BY OTHER PROFESSIONALS.

In other words, your child may have been told by their pediatrician or school nurse or even eye doctor that their eyes were fine: but often that just means they're 20/20 in their eyesight yet they STILL MAY HAVE SIGNIFICANT VISUAL DYSFUNCTION.
