My ds6 saw developmental optometrist yesterday. Exam was 45 mins. Short story vision therapy starts next week. Longer story (though I could barely pay attention with both boys tackling each other as optometrist spoke to me). Basically, ds eyes don't converge or diverge. They don't work together at all. She couldn't believe he could read at all (little alone 4th grade level) and couldn't believe no one pointed out anything.
Ds has spent this year being told he "scribble scrabbled", gets poor reading level because he skips words, "messy", "rushing", and "not trying his best". Meanwhile, he can't see!
Relieved that after some tough vision therapy, he will not have these problems. Can't wait for that. I bet he will feel so much better too! Thinking I'm gonna hold off on OT a bit and focus on vision Therapy. Thoughts?
