RE: Update on Vision Therapy

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

a while ago I had posted that my 4 year old had started vision therapy, and

promised an update for anyone interested.

We'd been very excited to start this therapy. We saw Dr. Melvin Kaplan of

Tarrytown NY. He wrote a fascinating book on the subject, and it just made so

much sense to us. The therapy consists of wearing prism glasses and doing daily

exercises. The exercises were different each week, and worked on eye tracking

and body coordination.

After several months, unfortunately, we've had to put this on the back burner.

It's too hard for my son to sit still and follow directions, and there is no way

to make him look at something when he doesn't want to. He just wasn't motivated

to do the exercises so he didn't.

I'd still recommend vision therapy for anyone with a child who's more high

functioning and calmer than my son. We pray that in the future we'll be able to

make use of it.

Best to all

Daisy
