Vision therapy may be the missing piece for reading

K came to us because he was having a lot of trouble with reading. He lost his place frequently and skipped words, and also had trouble copying from the board. He also said that the words were always moving on the page. K also had trouble with spelling and tended to reverse letters and mixed up his lefts and rights often. 

After vision therapy, K wasn’t losing his place nearly as much and felt reading was a lot easier for him. K’s teacher noticed significant improvements in his reading and he was much more confident and more willing to read out loud in front of the class. K’s mom also found his reading was much better and he even volunteered to read in front of the whole school during an assembly. K was also really excited to attend the book fair at his school so he could pick out some new books to read which made him and his mom happy that he found reading much easier and more enjoyable. K still needed lots of extra help at school, but vision therapy helped him improve faster and benefit more from tutoring (as he was previously in tutoring with little to no changes).

Congratulations K! We will miss you and your love of football and your dogs 🙂

Vision therapy can help older kids (teens) and adults too!

M came to us because he was having troubles at school and was concerned as he was going to be starting high school soon. He lost his place often when he read and tended to skip words. He also found it difficult looking at a crowded page and pulling information from it and sometimes experienced dizziness.

After vision therapy, M reported that he wasn’t losing his place while reading and found it easier to focus when reading or doing other activities that required a lot of concentration. His mom also noticed that he stopped complaining of dizziness and that reading seemed much easier for him. She was surprised to notice that his testing times improved consistently!

Congratulations M! We will miss you and your love of basketball and the Raptors.

Vision Therapy Helped With Headaches

M came to us because she was experiencing frequent headaches and was having trouble reading. She tended to lose her place often while reading and when copying from the board, and tended to skip lines in music when playing violin. She also tended to lose her focus often during school.

After vision therapy, M wasn’t losing her focus and having blurry vision, and she also stopped having headaches from reading. M also noticed that she found reading much easier and wasn’t losing her place when reading or playing violin anymore. Her mom also noticed that she got better at writing straight across the page without guidelines.

Congratulations, M! We will miss you and your love of outdoor sports!
