30 to 60 percent

of children with learning delays have vision problems

Most of these children have passed the standard vision screening at school or at the pediatrician’s office, testing only a child’s visual acuity. Often it is the child’s functional vision skills that are the actual roadblocks to learning.

Removing the Obstacles

Vision therapy often removes visual roadblocks that interfere with academic achievement. When the causes of the visual problems are addressed using vision therapy, children can make remarkable improvements in their academic work.

Common visual roadblocks:

Skipping words or lines while reading
Headaches with school work or computer use
Below grade level reading
Decreased reading comprehension
Reversals of letters or numbers
Blurred or double vision
Constant rubbing of eyes or closing one eye when reading
Avoiding homework
Eyestrain or fatigue

We partner with the leading center in brain training, Learning Rx, to enhance our patient’s cognitive brain skills and ensure successful results.
