[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Check his vision. My DC was diagnosed with convergence insufficiency at 16. They did generally well in school, (3.7 unwgpa) but if they had to read a large amount of text, they had a hard time understanding what they were reading. I thought they just didn't like to read/study, and couldn't read for more than like 10min at a time. Diagnosis and therapies are expensive, though.[/quote] I was the other poster, but also recommend this. My son didn’t have the same condition, but he did do things with the occupational therapist that helped with eye tracking, etc. He had a lot of problems staying on one line when reading for example-he’d jump to the next line halfway through, or restart the same line over. He practiced reading with a ruler under the line to help. The next year he ended up getting reading glasses. It’s a very mild prescription, and he often doesn’t use them, but if he’s tired or reading a lot, he does. [/quote]
