The vision therapy is going much better. DD has done quite some progress, and sundenly, she can count in several languages, starts doing simple adition in her head, starts to recognice more and more letters....
Yes, we had that experience with the eye exam being perfect from one doctor and 'terrible' from the Behavior Optomitrist, still not sure who to trust, but it sounds to me that your homeade work is going well.
Finding motivators is tricky...and yes, they do lose their potency....ask DD what she would really really love - you might be suprised. Otherwise, start a journal and take notes as to which reinforcers really get her salivation....a trip to the library? live music show? TV program? time with a particular person?
good luck,
As for the teacher contributing to the underachievement - that worries me. Can you send her to a differnt school if this school insists on keeping her with the same teacher next year?
((hugs))
