Yes, the person who evaluated my son recommended I take him for a vision assessment, which I did. They found he has binocular instability and ocular motor tracking problems. We started daily therapy at home and after only 3 weeks, he is reading outloud better and skipping far fewer words. We went back to the eye doctor this week and the doctor was very pleased with his progress. They want me to continue with the Marsden ball exercise and added a bead exercise.
I know what you mean..I am not sure I NEED to know if he has dyslexia or not. I am treating him as if he does-I bought All About Spelling this week and will start daily lessons soon. He will be learning keyboarding skills this fall and we will continue to work on his writing skills. Homeschooling is great-because you can customize a program for each individual child. I realize it is not for everyone, though.
