He was skipping lines and words while reading, he mixed up letters, had visual-motor coordination issues that made his balance off and his hand eye coordination was poor. He also lacked depth perception and because of his eye straying, his brain had turned off using the right eye much of the time. He participated in Vision Therapy for a year and a half. We've seen his reading get much better, his brain is using his right eye and it is in alignment. He also has depth perception back and enjoys coloring, writing and sports more because of increased visual-motor coordination. He is less frustrated with school work too. read less - AGE: 8

She struggled to concentrate because it took such an effort to read. Her confidence was plummeting and tears were a daily occurrence during homework. We all hated "homework time." Through Divine Intervention, we found Dr.T & The Center for Vision Development. We were very dedicated to the weekly/daily homework & very quickly saw results from the work Mae & Ms. Kayla were doing. Not only does she love to read now, she has also improved in other areas in unexpected ways. Math is easier. Her ability to count music has been established. Her dance has improved. Her handwriting and spelling has improved. We are forever thankful that God brought us to The Center for Vision Development. We highly recommend getting an assessment to see if vision therapy will help your family. read less - AGE: 8

We started noticing that she was supper frustrated trying to read chapter books because she would get headaches, have trouble focusing and constantly lose her place. Vision therapy has been amazing because its helped her gain confidence in her school work, especially reading. It was a great experience because she never dreaded coming and even had lots of fun while doing therapy. Giving your child the confidence to succeed is invaluable and we are so glad we invested in therapy because it is something that equips her for the future! read less - AGE: 9

She would stall or delay homework and be overall unhappy doing the work. She would only read for the required time and exhibited little enjoyment in it. And now, she loves to read and more importantly share the stories with us. While homework is not always fun; she is much more willing to complete it and do well. She is a strong student and has found a love for science and math. We have even joined sports teams and look forward to new activities. She is more confident young lady and avid learner. read less - AGE: 10

She struggled with very sloppy handwriting that would be closely spaced together and large. She had a hard time fitting her sentences on the lines. Her reading has always been good except for occasionally skipping lines and small words. She struggled greatly with visual memorization. Last year while studying spelling words, we would practice one day and then the next day it was as though she never practiced those words. This year she has made 100's on every spelling test. Her handwriting has improved. Also, a main struggle she had was reading/writing numbers and letters backwards. This has greatly improved. There were a few days she would cry due to frustration stemming from her lack of visual spatial skills. I'm happy to say there's no more crying! The staff here are wonderful! Sophia loved them all! I greatly appreciate you all! Thank you! read less - AGE: 7
