[QUOTE="justour2boys, post: 331828, member: 6235"] Yes... when my DS was in 1st grade his teacher noticed some difficulties with tracking sentences and copying from the board. The school did some brief vision testing and while the tested at 20/20, his eyes were not working together. He under went extensive testing and vision therapy at a University School of Opthomology. The therapy is intense! He had to do eye exercises every day (with out fail) for 6 weeks with weekly clinic visits. He then took a break and was re-tested. He then had to do another 4 week set. It was not for the faint of heart... esp with a difficult child! I can tell you that vision therapy can be considered controversial and insurance does not cover it. But I can also tell you that it did help my DS and re-testing after 2 years showed the therapy results still held. Here are just a few online resources.
