Please help - Vision Therapy

[Guest guest]

My son (he'll be 5 tomorrow) has been going to speech therapy for

about 2 years now, and OT for about a year, as well as special ed

preschool for about 1.5 years. His OT had noticed he has some problems

focusing, tracking and " converging " with his vision. We took him to a

pediatric optometrist yesterday who said she would recommend vision

therapy for him.

This would be one 30-minute session a week for 18-36 weeks.

Unfortunatly his insurance (medicaid) will not cover it. It costs

around $70 per session.

Has anyone here taken their child to vision therapy - if so for how

long and did you feel it was beneficial?

Would love to hear from anyone about this.

Thank you -

Janice
