She presents as quite "normal" on the surface and does well in school so the times we are at the dr and answering their typical developmental questions have never raised any concerns for the dr.

Also, do you have any way of finding & speaking directly with others who have actually had vision therapy to see what they think?
Maybe. I can always ask the OD's office, but I suspect that they'd only give me the #s of happy people. I can also ask around at work b/c I work at the local hospital or post something to a parenting listserv that I belong to. The listserv tends to draw more "crunchy" types and parents of younger children, though.
