It's been quite awhile, but I think that we saw the biggest change in our dd after about 2-3 months of VT, and then the changes became less obviously apparent after that. I will add though, that our dd had issues beyond simply convergence - she had severe double vision and extremely limited peripheral vision.
Do you sit in and watch the VT appointments? And does the vision therapist keep a record of improvements in the different exercises, or repeat certain exercises after a few weeks to see if there's been improvement? Our dd's VT program was very structured, with goals to meet on each exercise and once she'd met a goal she moved on, so even when it might not be obvious that she was making leaps and bounds improvements in reading, we could see she was making progress, and we had a good idea what specific areas of vision each of the exercises targeted.
Do you think it's possible there's more going on with your ds' reading than vision? Vision therapy addresses weak muscle tone and how muscles work together, but it doesn't remedy Learning Disabilities/etc. It's possible that a child who's diagnosed with a vision issue might have yet another layer of issues underneath, that you can't see until you have remediated the vision challenge.

ps - also curious - you mentioned having two different sources recommend vt for your child - who were the people who recommended it?
