DAVID was A BRIGHT 8-year-old, but is trying to keep up with class work, his third scoring below the level of reading and writing in the age. He often used his finger or a marker to keep its place on the page, often while reading, because he lost his place and well monitored. David has repeatedly complained of headaches after school. His handwriting was so sloppy that regularly would remain in the niche to assign your work again. The school appealed and was beginning to think that it is not "smart" there.
A developmental vision evaluation revealed that David well see (20/20), but he was more farsighted than most other children his age. He also had an eye tracking, targeting, eye teaming and eye or hand coordination difficulties. After a developmental optometrist prescribed glasses for reading, and David went through eight months of vision therapy sessions a week, his teacher said he made a great improvement in the school. Now read himself, and his writing has become more legible. David's mother, said his confidence has already shipped, and "hated" school! David was a student of struggling.
LISA WAS AN EXCELLENT STUDENT OF THE FIFTH YEAR. She was a careful and he worked hard in school. Although she had good reading abilities, she was like reading, because the press would be unclear and sometimes twice. Although it was above grade level in reading, avoided the more advanced books, print size was "too small". Despite the good signs of Lisa was still a struggling student.
Lisa is a developmental vision evaluation showed that Lisa had "convergence insufficiency." It is an eye teaming problem, may result in double vision, blurring or unrest in the vicinity. With two months optometric vision therapy sessions weekly, Lisa taught accurately and efficiently coordinate the eyes. Her reading has accelerated and began to read books on her own, the completion of the new Harry Potter book in three days! Her mother wished that he would find out about Lisa's a Visual problem much earlier, but was glad that it now be considered.
The above two examples of struggling students show how Visual skills and vision processing issues can significantly affect the academic performance of the child. Behavioral and emotional problems, which often accompanies the lack of performance can escalate and lead to a decrease in self-esteem and confidence.
