[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 577705, member: 11847"] Partner just received a DS for his birthday, first time video games entered our family! Since then, and V's new vision goal with Occupational Therapist (OT), I was wondering if a Wii could be a good investment. I was thinking we can play together as a family, hopefully have fun and work on visual and coordination goals all at the same time. But since I only go by what I've heard about the Wii... I really don't have much more to saY! lol I just thought it might be worth the try. V's optometrist has also mentioned video games as a way to help V improve with developmental vision/ perception. Of course not all day long, but a healthy dose would help him progress. He said that we would have to start VERY easy at first. Mario on Partner's DS for example is WAY to hard and therefor V has almost no interest in it. It kind of reminds me how I introduced TV to V when he was 4 and 1/2 years old. I had to start with baby shows, very repetitive in order for him to understand. Now he enjoys TV and knows why the whole family is watching a movie at night. It was important to me that V would get why TV can be fun. [/QUOTE]
