You are all so supportive. Thanks. I wasn't even looking for feedback, just posting that I found helpful info (yet again) on this forum.
Glad to hear you got some answers, too, Kriston.
I actually asked the dr. if visual tracking is the type of thing that she finds trouble in everyone (I hate to be such a cynic...), but the fact is that I was impressed with how much she noticed about DS from the start, and how much she got right from watching him take the various tests. And then we let DS try out DH's reading glasses last night and he said "I hate to admit it, but these things definitely help." We're going this afternoon. He's afraid of looking like a "geek," but he'll get over it quickly. Besides, the advantage of HSing is who will ever know other than those in his inner circle?
Great tips on types of frames to look for. Thank you. Since he broke a pair of mine the weekend before I had to go to a conference a couple years ago, forcing me to scramble to find a replacement pair, I appreciate the reminder that kids don't handle glasses the way they're supposed to.
You know, it's funny. She described all these traits of kids with (literal) focus issues and it sounded a lot like traits of kids with (attention) focus issues. There's definitely a focus issue when it comes to "boring" work (in his case, anything written, including math, or reading). Which is it?
Hmmmmm, things just keep on getting interesting around here. Let's just hope the
help.
