[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SO there have been a few threads on vision therapy recently and I contributed to some of them.  We just got some testing results back and the psychologist is recommending vision therapy.  It makes sense--my kid had strabismus and he has dyslexia too.  I would be willing to try it despite lack of research because I've heard enough anecdotal reports that I think it may help my kid.

SO I called VCDC which was recommended by my kid's psychologist.  Guess what they charge?  $997 for a set of three appointments for the intake and then $3340 for a set of 12 appointments with a "therapist" who has a certificate.  That works out to $278 for an hour long session.   Those are psychiatrist prices for a person with a bachelor's degree and some training.  The receptionist could not explain how they could justify those prices.

If you have done vision therapy did you pay that much?[/quote]

I do not know, OP, but I hear ya about SN price extortion.  :(  My daughter has dyslexia too, and her school is expensive, her tutor is expensive, you name it, everything about this process is $$$$$$$$$!!!!  [/quote]
