Learning Sight Words
Here are some fun ways to help learn sight words! They should be recognized instantly by using visual memory without sounding them out. They are best retained when anchored with some type of movement.
Concussion Recovery
Today we’re recognizing the first Rowan’s Law Day in honour of Rowan Stringer. Ontario is leading the way in concussion awareness and safety. We honour Rowan’s memory by helping people across Ontario increase their awareness of the dangers of concussions and how to improve safety in sport.
Reducing the risk of concussions is always the goal. But concussions happen and knowing what to do – whether you’re an athlete, a parent, a coach or a teacher – saves lives.
Rehab for your visual system is also an important part of concussion recovery. Visit our Concussion page and https://concussionproject.com to learn more!

What Causes Poor Reading Skills
August is #VisionandLearningMonth! 1 in 4 school-aged children have a vision problem, and this includes problems that can happen even if they can “see 20/20!” A comprehensive eye exam should be a priority to make sure your students are prepared to do well in school!
Here’s a great video by WOW Vision Therapy that shows how kids can suffer from a vision condition affecting their ability to read and learn, even if they have 20/20 eyesight and “no need for glasses.”
Becoming an FCOVD
Last week, Dr. Lee became a newly certified Fellow of the College of Optometrists in Vision Development (FCOVD)! This means that she has demonstrated advanced competency in the areas of vision development, binocular vision, visual information processing, and vision therapy.
This is a post-graduate designation, and the process requires proof of direct clinical management of cases, at least 1100 hours of experience and education, as well as completion of case reports, essays, a written exam, and an in-person oral defense.
Congratulations to her for successfully completing the certification! 🎉 #lifelonglearning
Dr Lee Won A Prize!
At the COVD Annual Meeting, Dr Lee got a chance to try the Senaptec Sensory Station, and ended up achieving the highest score of all attendees in tasks of eye-hand coordination, peripheral awareness, and fast decision making! She represented us well 💪#visiontherapy #sportsvision #girlpower
