Vision Therapy - Charile - Jancie and NACD folks!

[Guest guest]

We are beginning to address vision therapy and had an appt with a

developmental optomitrist who I think is terrific. This is after his

neurodevelopmental therapist says his vision developmetn is 2 years

off. We thought it neccessary to get a developmental optomitrists

view as well. Here is the report. I am open to any insight or

experiences you all may have had or done to correct your child's

vision issues.

Charlie's visual acuity is 20/30 in each eye in distance and 20/20 in

each eye at near. There is no significant refractive error and no

glasses were prescribed. Charlie's eyes are healthy and dilated

fundus examination was unremarkable. Cover testing showed no

strabismus; his eyes were aligned and depth perception was present.

Using prisms, Charlie's binocular vision was expected. Eye tracking

skills were as expected; Charlie tends to move his head more than

just his eyes when tracing a moving target. Peripheral vision

screening appears normal.

Reccommending a home-based theapy program 1-2 x per month (I wonder

if this is a mistake to weeks) to address vision development with

Charlie. Plan to review other home activities to address visual

fixation and tracking, working central and peripheral visual

processing (also called magnocellular and parvocellular visual

systems) visual motor integration and visual perceptual skills. We

would like to see Charlie on a six month basis to monitor his

progress.

Thanks,
