I'm following the comments here because our DS has some of the symptoms. He's mild (or else has compensated) and so I'm not sure if VT is for him. His optometrist has had him eye patching now for the last three months for two hours a day while playing eye/hand games on the iPad. His last exam showed an improvement in his lazy eye: going from 20/40 to 20/30, yet the optometrist has suggested we see a VT doctor.
DS hates to have his head underwater and up until this last year, would scream just having his hair rinsed. He's been one to cover his ears for no apparent reason and was a screamer as a baby...again for no apparent reason.
When I read the description of dysgraphia it seemed to fit him. We're having him evaluated by Sylvan for writing to see if they think they can help. After a course of instruction, if he doesn't improve (which with dysgraphia, practice doesn't improve it), we will definitely pursue the VT.
