[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 527257, member: 1233"] Actually the book is The Out of Sync Child Has Fun by Kranowitz and it ROCKS! in my opinion every house, even those with-o Occupational Therapist (OT) issues need this bc it is so fun. But I'm weird. Has anyone suggested vision therapy? You would need a Children's hospital to get a good diagnosis, probably from an opthalmologist, but from there vision therapy might be a big help. They do all sorts of things to help with these problems, esp the foreground/background and letter confusion problems. they also work wiht colored lenses bc some dyslexics read just fine with specially colored lenses. I know how strange that sounds, trust me. But I have SEEN this work and it is amazing. Different colors seem to help with different things for some people, others just need one certain color and they read and learn just fine. One of the sp ed students that the teacher we liked so much had needed them. His family couldn't afford them and medicaid wouldn't pay for the lenses so they were wracking their brains to figure out how to provide the needed color filters. I brought in a bunch of clear plastic colored report covers and we tried putting those over the pages of books to have him read through those and it did help substantially. Was NOT as good as the colored glasses he needed, but it did let him learn in the months it took to find funding for the glasses. it truly is one of the most amazing things I have seen. I wouldn't go find a way to do it yourself until V is evaluated fully though. This is just what I saw when they called and asked me if I could figure out a DIY solution or help find fundin for the glasses (I did that too, but it took some time to get enough donations.)
