Yehuda, age 6<\/b><\/p>\n

Two years ago I walked into a doctor’s office with a child that, although proven to be a smart kid, had trouble grasping how to read. After an evaluation, Dr. X suggested Vision Therapy once a week. One year later, after completing his Vision Therapy program, Yehuda became an avid reader and a top student.<\/p>\n

No parent looks forward to driving two hours once a week for Vision Therapy. But there is no bigger satisfaction than seeing that your sacrifices have paid off.<\/p>\n

Charlotte, age 10<\/b><\/p>\n

We are excited and thrilled. This is not the same kid we brought in January. She has been accepted in the AVID (Advanced via Individual Determination) program at school. We are total advocates of Vision Therapy.<\/p>\n
