[quote=Anonymous]Have you done OT yet?  While we were doing the OT and Speech Therapy thing, it was actually our OT who said we should looking into vision therapy.

We started with just a normal eye exam (with a younger doctor) and she recommended/confirmed that vision therapy would be a good idea.

We did vision therapy for a year. We saw big results, but it is hard to say what was vision therapy, OT, baseball practice and just growing up (ironically it was our 1st grade year).  Vision therapy was a little crunchy for us, but we figured it didn't feel like it would do harm.

Start with what you are already doing and do the basic appointments that are covered by insurance for screening. You only have so much time in the day.

How many years have you been doing this? Our OT and Speech started at age 2 1/2.  If you just started OT or speech in the last 12 months, it is a long road. Give OT some time before you add Vision therapy.  I've seen kids take vision therapy at much older ages.  [/quote]
