Re: Vision Light Therapy-Janice

Janice -

We did the listening therapy with Josh (from Vital Links) a few years ago. If

you are considering it, I strongly recommend it. We saw amazing results within

a very short period of time and that have remained with Josh ever since (at

least for the most part). The OT that administered the listening therapy back

then did say that it might be necessary to redo it so I feel OK about having the

listening component of the Sensory Learning Program. I know that the SLP

results do not really show up for 30 to 60 days after the therapy but the PT

administering this said there may be some changes during the course of the

therapy. We'll see!

Sherry,

I have looked into some of those therapies with interest. I suspect that they

would be extremely beneficial for esp. for kids who are hyper-sensory. It will

be fun following your progress with Josh. Keep us tuned in!

[sPAM] Re: [ ] Vision Light Therapy

Josh is starting the Sensory Learning Program in a couple of weeks - it has a

vision light therapy component. When we did a sample session (to see if he was a

candidate for the therapy), he did quite well with the light. The program has

the kid lay on a bed that rotates (vestibular therapy) while watching the light

box and while doing a listening therapy. I'll let you know how it all goes as

the time comes.

Has anybody out there done the type of vision therapy where the child lies in a

dark closet and looks at a moving light? If so, I would love some specific

details on how this works.

Hubby bought a laser pointer for me to work on tracking with the kids. We have a

big hallway with a flat ceiling where I can make it dark and they can all do it

together with me moving the light around. I would love some specifics on how the

" gadget " works, though.

How long does each session last and how many times a day? Is there a specific

pattern the light follows? Any specifics would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
