VISION THERAPY: Who can it help?
What is Vision Therapy?
Vision Therapy can help individuals at any ages that have a variety of problems that stem from difficulty in efficiently using their visual system. At times children or adults have not yet learned or acquired the visual skills necessary. These are problems in visual development. At times, an individual may have had the skills, but lost them due to brain injury from trauma, stroke, lack of oxygen, etc.
Visual-Motor skills and endurance are developed during vision therapy sessions using lenses, prisms, and filters, specialized computers, and optical devices. At the final stages of therapy, the acquired visual skills are reinforced and made automatic through repetition and by integration with motor and cognitive skills.
