Vision therapy can help with learning difficulties by addressing underlying vision problems that contribute to difficulties with reading and learning.
Vision therapy can help improve eye coordination, tracking, focusing, and visual processing leading to improved reading fluency, comprehension, and overall academic performance.
Some common vision problems that can affect reading include:
- Oculomotor Dysfunction: Difficulty smoothly and accurately moving the eyes across a line of text.
- Eye teaming problems: Difficulty coordinating the eyes to work together as a team, which can lead to double vision or blurry vision.
- Eye focusing problems: Difficulty maintaining clear vision up close, leading to eye strain and fatigue.
- Visual processing problems: Difficulty interpreting visual information, such as shapes, letters, and words.
