[QUOTE=", post: 2866"] Wow, Susan - Thanks! I am the one who recommended the Developmental Vision assessment. I have gotten so much help and advice from this board and it feels just great to hear that I have actually helped someone else. My son is just finishing up 1 year of Vision Therapy - he'll be done in August. Yes, it has been a struggle to do the daily home therapy. And, yes, it has been expensive - $80/week, not covered by insurance. But it has made a huge difference for him. A year ago, although he knew how to read, he couldn't get through more than 1 sentence before throwing the book to the floor declaring, "Reading is stupid! I hate reading and I'm never going to do it!" This June, at the end of 1st grade, he passed the 7th grade reading test, and he reads constantly. In fact, it is the one thing that will always calm him down. If I see a meltdown approaching, I hand him a book and he is immediately calm. It has been an amazing transformation to watch. If anybody else is thinking about pursuing this avenue for their difficult child's, the crucial thing is to find a Behavioral Optometrist. A regular eye doctor isn't trained in the specialized area of Developmental Vision problems, and that's what you need. (We went through several regular eye doctors before finding the specialist and it was a complete waste of time and money.) I am so glad that the info is helping you and your son!
