[quote=Anonymous]There actually is science behind vision therapy for convergence insufficiency (there's an NIH study that indicates in-office vision therapy can be successful in treating this). However, because some people tout vision therapy as the "cure" for everything from ADHD to Autism, you do want to be skeptical. My 5th grader will be starting vision therapy for convergence insufficiency. DC has the classic symptoms, and a 3mos course of vision therapy is an experiment worth doing. If it works, great - I won't really care if it worked because vision therapy works or placebo. If it doesn't work, no biggie. This is definitely a "popular" thing right now and I think skepticism makes sense. That's why I looked at the studies and decided on terms that made sense to us. You hear about people doing a year of vision therapy and I didn't want to become one of those folks that starts on the treadmill and doesn't know when to get off.[/quote]
