[quote=Anonymous]vision therapy is one of those things that people disagree about.  Some say that there isn't any data to support its efficacy.

On APD and SPL evaluation -- I found these both to be useful. Since the APD is a type of hearing test, we did it thru a preferred provider in our insurance network and it was fully covered.  Auditory processing problems can be a component of the underlying aspects of dyslexia (not understanding the phonological components of reading sometimes comes from not being able to adequately process what is being heard, which is different from not hearing the words.  The sound input can be accurate but the brain's interpretation (i.e. processing) can be faulty.)

The SPL evaluation provided us with the best info on what our child's specific areas of need were -- better/more micro than that provided by the educational evaluation.  If you have doubts, ask the SPL you are considering to do the eval what additional tests they would recommend beyond what was done in the educational evaluation.  [/quote]
