Before Vision Therapy:
Ford used to strongly oppose reading and writing tasks. He displayed a great deal of avoidance and a lot of negative self-talk when presented with these tasks. This showed in his school performance as he struggled to meet grade level expectations; despite numerous supports and interventions.
After Vision Therapy:
Ford ended first grade reading texts a year beyond the expectations. While reading and writing are still not his most preferred activities, he is much less resistant. He no longer proclaims that he can’t and instead let’s us know “he’s got it” when presented with new words. There have been clear benefits from vision therapy and we are grateful for all Alyssa has done to support Ford’s success!
