Posted on by shannon@visiontherapyacademy.com“I had a hard time staying focused on reading. I would lose my place all the time. I took a break from baseball to focus on improving my hand/eye skills. I worked hard all summer/ fall building and practicing skills working with my teachers at VTA. It was a lot of fun. I also got to build skills at home too. Now I get less headaches. I ride my 4 wheeler. I read faster.”

“We’ve always noticed LJ had a problem with staying focused well he was reading. Lost track of his place (even when pointing). Lots of headaches. Not a fan of riding his bike or playing sports. Dad did some reading online and research… finding out that maybe LJ’s eyes didn’t work together! We looked into places that offer vision therapy and we found VTA/ Dr. Wonderling. After his eval, we got to see where LJ placed/ on the scale (K-12) (reading ages). He was overall good, but definitely could use improvement. Biggest concern was his eyes not tracking together. They were on overtime! Kinda just all over the place. We chose to continue on and work to improve LJ’s eye skills! Through working with teachers a lot and homework at home he has major improvement! His reading per min has increased by 50%, wants to read to siblings without mom or dad now. Less headaches. Wants to play baseball this coming season, which he had taken a break from, due to fear/nerves! We are very happy for LJ. He has so much love for books now. We loved all the skill building we did at home. So cool to see.”
