[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 331821, member: 1963"] Well, I do know tha t there's a specialty in opthalmology (the eye docs with the MD) that deals with things like how visual input in interpreted by the brain. They usually have a lot of extra training in neurology as it pertains to vision and visual functioning. Years back I had a co-worker who's son had severe LDs in reading and vocabulary. His vision tested as perfect at an optometrist. It turns out that he was unable to properly see and interpret contrast, which made it very difficult for him to see work on a blackboard or overhead projector. Due to his frustration, he began acting out in classes. It took something as simple as providing him with sheets of yellow plastic transparent film to place over his reading materials, and giving him copies of board and overhead projected work. [/QUOTE]
