[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I researched vision therapy extensively for my kid.  He has other issues besides vision.  Except for convergence insufficiency vision therapy is largely thought to be bunk and our three ophthalmologists said so.  That being said I called around after being given a referral by a psychologist for it.  What I found was that prices varied widely and some places did take insurance.  The most expensive place was more expensive than any other type of therapy my kid does.  Vision therapists generally have a certificate not even a masters and that place was going to charge more that our OT or SLP.  Our doctor said that for every 10 people who do it 9 will say it was a waste and one will find it miraculous.  You might want to do some searching on the SN forum for my past discussions of it.[/quote]

thanks for this! the place near me (I'm OP) is staffed by two doctors (MDs) and tehn their therapists, so it doesn't seem shady. however, it is super expensive. [/quote]
