[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OTs love to recommend vision therapy. The science doesn't back it up and it can be harmful if seeing a developmental op keeps your child from seeing a medical doctor if she has a real problem. Developmental issues, attention issues, are brain issues, not eye issues.[/quote] wrong the eye and brain work together. Looking at how the childs eye works can tell you many things about how your child will perform in school. Testing your child for visual tracking and other visual problems can tell you many things. Like if there are issues with lateralization of the brain. Its true that an OT with knowledge in this area can help the child improve however both the OT and a visual therapy can help the child maximize their potential more efficiently. Please educate yourself some more on the subject before giving your opinon.[/quote]
