[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not familiar with the doc, but about to wrap VT with our 13 yo—has made progress on their metrics but tough to see the difference in real world. Tried VT due to very low spatial scores / speed and dysgraphia, and neuropsych suggested trying. DC enjoys (somewhat) and likes the therapist he works with. VT had also been suggested (by a teacher) in 1st grade (by a teacher) but we did not pursue partially based on research and the opinion of an ophthalmologist.[/quote]

NP. We had similar results for our 9yo. Tough to see a difference in the real world, but he had some vision issues that were corrected, even if not easily apparent.

It was being pushed as making a huge difference for some kids by a few folks we knew but opthamologist thought DC was borderline and could help but might not, and doc did warn us there are simpler ways to approach DCs vision issues. I think we hoped this would be the thing that solved all of DCs problems but that was foolish.

It's a lot of money and huge time commitment. We went to Applebaum. He was either a salesman or delusional about how life changing vision therapy would be for our child. But regardless, they exercises they do there are effective and should improve vision issues.

In a weird way I'm still glad we did it bc otherwise I would wonder if that was the root cause of my DCs problem forever, but if I had to redo it I'd pick a different doctor. [/quote]
