Vision Therapy for Children

Patients may have one or many of the following symptoms:

• Your child is easily distracted and has a short attention span, especially when working on something up close like a jigsaw puzzle or tying shoes
• Your child has underdeveloped fine motor skills – poor handwriting, cannot stay in the lines when coloring (after about age 5), has difficulty using scissors, etc.
• Your child has underdeveloped gross (large) muscle skills – trouble throwing and catching, difficulty riding a bike, seems clumsy, trips a lot
• Your child tends to have emotional outbursts that are significantly disproportionate to the trigger
• Your child moves and wiggles all over the place when trying to read or write
• Your child complains of headaches or tummy aches when reading or doing homework
• Your child avoids reading, procrastinates horribly with homework, and never chooses to read for fun
