Rik, age 8<\/b><\/p>\n

At school, my son used to reverse letters, jump from one line to the next while reading, and misspell words he copied from the board.<\/p>\n

During sports activities, my son could not catch a ball or ride his bike. He used to cry, and say “I can’t do it Mom, I can’t do it.” He also didn’t know right from left.<\/p>\n

Two years ago I took my son to an optometrist and he was diagnosed with astigmatism. The Dr. said that my son was young and he was going to grow out of it.<\/p>\n

As parents, all we want is for our kids to do well in school. I used to talk to friends and relatives about the problems my son was having at school. And their advice was “Don’t worry, he’s going to grow out of it.”<\/p>\n

And let me tell you, I wasted 5 precious years. Before Vision Therapy, homework was a punishment for me and my son. I used to yell at him for misspelling the same word for the 5th time. Vision Therapy changed my son’s life completely for the better.<\/p>\n

Now he knows his right from his left, can catch a ball, and ride his bike. He can also read without jumping lines, and the stories or books he reads now make sense.<\/p>\n

Brittany, age 11<\/b><\/p>\n

When Brittany first came to Vision Therapy she had many problems. She made many mistakes, she was a very slow worker, and she never finished her work. Her concentration was bad.<\/p>\n

In three weeks, we saw a big difference in her schoolwork. Now that she has completed Vision Therapy, Brittany is capable of reading through a story, she doesn’t get confused, and she understands what she has read.<\/p>\n

While Brittany used to take three to four hours to do homework, she can now finish her homework in twenty minutes. I truly believe in the Vision Therapy program with all of my heart.<\/p>\n

So I say to any parent whose child might have a learning disability, look into Vision Therapy. It did wonders for Brittany.<\/p>\n

Taylor, age 15<\/b><\/p>\n

The strides Taylor has made are incredible. She was a slow worker who could not concentrate, and it took 3-4 hours to complete homework. Now she stays seated and finishes in about 45 minutes.<\/p>\n

When Taylor makes mistakes now, she realizes them right away and corrects them. Taylor also loves to read now because she no longer loses her place! She is also very proud of how fluently she can read aloud.<\/p>\n

We are so proud of Taylor’s improvement with Vision Therapy and we can’t stop talking about it!<\/p>\n

Andrew, age 12<\/b><\/p>\n

After Andrew completed Vision Therapy, we observed remarkable improvement in his schoolwork. He feels much better about himself now. You can see the enthusiasm and effort that was not there before. Now he completes his homework with ease. His teacher also reported that he is doing much better in class. Thank you for Vision Therapy and for the changes the program brought to my son’s life.<\/p>\n

Darnell, age 13<\/b><\/p>\n

Vision Therapy has helped Darnell in many areas of his life. He enjoyed the program very much. His memory has improved tremendously, and he is more motivated. He is able to concentrate more with his homework. He can focus more and complete it in a shorter span. He is now able to copy all his homework assignments from the board. He enjoys reading more than before. He even improved on his behavior overall. He is more organized.<\/p>\n

I would and have recommended Vision Therapy to some of my friends.<\/p>\n

Endasha, age 12<\/b><\/p>\n

Endasha has improved in all areas. I feel that Vision Therapy has been worthwhile for her. Working at home is now much better, her homework is done in one hour, not three.<\/p>\n

I’m glad Endasha had the chance to understand that she can do school work just like all the other children.<\/p>\n
