[quote=Anonymous]Interesting, our old OT recommended it for DD. I asked specific questions as to why and she couldn't explain. Took my DD to a pediatric ophthamologist who found no problems (and said she did the tests a developmental optometrist would do). SHe found no problem with DD's eyes. Lo and behold, we switch OTs. The new OT (who is much more experienced) was perplexed as to why the old OT would have suggested a developmental optometrist. Apparently, DD's visual perceptive scores were actually very good. I'm not saying vision therapy isn't right for anyone but I am very suspicious. I would suggest you do your homework and ask a lot of questions. I would also get a couple opinions. It's very expensive (and a huge money maker for the optometrist) and not generally covered by insurance (except, I believe for one condition for which it is proven to be effective).[/quote]
