Visual Struggles in Children

Visual dysfunctions are not always obvious, especially in children. They don’t know what is wrong; all they know is that school is hard or reading hurts their head! Many learning disabilities are actually connected to functional vision problems. The good news: Vision Therapy has been proven to be an effectively treatment in these cases!

It is quite common for kids to suffer with vision problems. But it doesn’t have to be that way! In fact, one study found that over 50% of children with a learning disability had an underlying and treatable visual dysfunction. 

If you see a concern, start by filling out the symptom survey. It helps indicate the possibility of visual problems.
