[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone whose smart kid struggles with reading should look into vision therapy. The school won't recommend it and a regular eye doctor visit won't show the need for it.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. http://www.vlca.com/[/quote]

Ha! That article is ridiculous. Of course vision therapy won't help with learning disabilities or dyslexia, it's for vision problems. That's like saying vision therapy won't help with my sprained ankle. Right it won't.

There are different reasons why children have difficulty reading. One of them is dyslexia. One is that they may have a vision problem (that may or may not be related to visual acuity- ie they could have 20/20 vision but still have a vision processing difficulty...)

Would you like to trade journal articles? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3261761/

I have LOTS more.

Also, I know several adults who had vision therapy as adults and have personally attested to its life-changing results.[/quote]
