Did you know that Vision Therapy can improve reading skills?

It helps to address visual problems that interfere with reading fluency and comprehension.

It improves the  ability to track words and lines accurately, reducing issues such as skipping lines or omitting words. 

It strengthens the Brain-Eye connections necessary to keep a child’s eyes fixed on the text.

It improves the coordination between the eyes, ensuring that they work as a cohesive team while reading.

It helps children learn to move their eyes smoothly from letter-to-letter or word-to-word while reading.

It helps children change focus from near to far which is needed for copying from the board at school. 

It helps the eyes learn to focus together, which is necessary for reading fluency.

It improves comprehension by reducing the time spent moving the eyes, allowing more time spent understanding what is being read. 

It helps a child read faster and more smoothly.

It can help improve visual skills which will help to make handwriting more legible.
