Guest guest Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I know that this group is about apraxia, but I figure that many of us have children with sensory issues as well. My 8 year old daughter has some mild sensory things going on and is also struggling with behavior and attention. A friend told me about the Sensory Learning Center. I am a PT, so I believe in sensory integration, although we have not tried any with my daughter yet. The SLC sounded intriguing to me because it combines three senses into each treatment (auditory, visual and proprioceptive). We took her to be evaluated. It was an optometrist who evaluated her and told us she has convergence insufficiency (ie tracking poorly). BTW, we had no concerns with her visually - she has 20/20 vision and reads very well. He suggested both sensory learning ($3000) and vision training ($4500). My husband and I choked at the price (not usually covered by ins). Her child psychologist was very skeptical and felt it was not scientifically backed. The research the clinic gave me was vague and not specific to this treatment. I would be inclined to try the therapy if I had more confidence that it was not a hoax. So, has anyone out there tried the Sensory Learning Center, and/or vision training? If so, have you had good/bad/indifferent results? Any input would be wonderful!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
