However I think it's worth noting that I've "met" several parents online who's children are dyslexic and who have benefited from vision therapy; I think that what happens is that it's not unusual for some children to be dyslexic and also have visual challenges - so VT isn't curing the dyslexia, but it is helping the children with another area of challenge.

Yes, this is what I was told by both places I went to about my son's VT and what I was also told by an aquaintance who is a special tutor for children with reading challenges and dyslexia.
