I have heard from school-based occupational therapists that "vision therapy," provided by "developmental" or "behavioral optometrists," is not research based. But I worked for 6 years in a school district in which the Title 1 director sent parents to seek vision therapy. I swear, I would retest students for special ed., and not only did they no longer qualify, their stinking IQs would have gone up! You can't buy that in a bottle!
I did spring for over a year's worth of vision therapy for my 2E when I noticed he couldn't do the block design subtest. My dad, Mr. Fiscally Conservative, said "Do it!", I assume thinking of the problems my brother has had, unremediated.
