[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids who are jumping around the page when reading may have an eye tracking problem, and you would want a developmental optometrist to see him. I would start there. Make sure it is a developmental optometrist and not a regular one. Since he is relying on memorizing, that makes me think the problem might be visual.[/quote] While this is definitely a good idea to consult a developmental optometrist, I would line up neuropsych at the same time with developmental vision. Dev vision doesn’t have a whole lot of peer reviewed studies showing it makes a difference but anecdotally I have heard wonderful things. Since it sometimes takes so long to get into neuropsych for testing, I wouldn’t hold up on that for dev vision (they may recommend like 6 months of vision therapy - if your DC is not better after that, then it’s 6 months later and you’re still spinning your wheels).
