Glasses are all the rage with the first graders this year. It seems like all the "cool" kids have them.:)
Sorry I am so remiss in adding comments. I've had "a" day. I can't believe what I do for these two lovlies! This is the first time I've sat down all day. Unfortunately, tomorrow is even busier.
Our optometrist's vision specialists use Brainware Safari for the vision therapy, which I believe has been extended for purchase at homsechoolbuyersco-op. Less than $50, as I recall.
Thanks! Her first appointment is next week. The plan is for her to go to the office every other week until December. She will have to do excercises at home every day, so I'm not sure what that will entail. I am also a member of the co-op, so thanks for the heads up.
St. Pauli. Little C has similar issue as your son. Obviously, no one can make a diagnosis on the net!
But what you describe sounds like what is a visual discrimination issue that C has.
Interestingly, the Dr. from COVD administered developmental vision tests. In some areas, 6 yo C is developmentally on par with a 9yo. In a few others she is WAY behind. Kind of redefines asynchronistic development, dontcha think?
And BTW, Kriston, C's issues have to do with the fine muscle control of the eyes. She is farsighted and the Dr. observed that her eyes would actually cross while trying to make out near tasks, like reading. Interesting that quite a few of us have kids that seem to have the same fine muscle control issues..........
