HI!
Anyone here with experience with Vision Therapy? Apparently DS 8 recently had a Visiograph as part of comprehensive eye exam and his eye movement, tracking, and teaming correlate with that of around the average 1st grader. This is the same kid who read all 8 Harry Potter books over the summer, has read them again since then, and is now on Book 5 of the Percy Jackson series ( all with good comprehension as per his school). Insight please!

Got it. But then how on earth could this kid do legos and puzzles so easily before kindergarten? He definitely can't catch though and lacks some social awareness. He is not a ball sports kid. BTW- how much of this would effect his processing speed?

You might want to look back on other threads about vision therapy. There is not a lot of scientific evidence for some of the claims that are made:
