We started a course of vision therapy for DS13 last spring. The DO told us 20-40 weeks depending on how hard we worked at home. Well, we HIT it at home every day. I had to record all the exercises we did each day and we did 730 over the course of 22 weeks and finished close to the minimum time. The exercises are quick and varied so that's about 10-15 minutes of vision therapy each day and 22 therapist sessions.
I had to drive 45 minutes each way and pay out of pocket so I was very motivated to finish quickly like Pemberley. DS hated most of the exercises but he could tell his eyes were getting stronger, tracking better and simply had more stamina by week 10.
DS also had depth perception and convergence issues. He has always had problems with clumsy slip and falls, almost on a weekly basis, and vision therapy radically reduced this problem. Poor guy. I wish I had known sooner. Maybe he could have even learned to catch a ball.
