I then spoke to someone who specializes in giftedness about my son's underachievement and anxiety and he said that he would recommend having someone check my son's eyes for Convergence Insufficiency (and basically whether or not he would need vision therapy).
Did this person actually do some type of evaluation for your children, or did you just have a conversation with him? I'd be wary of putting $ toward one specific type of eval based on just a conversation - there are so many possibilities of what can cause different types of issues/challenges/underachievement at school.
