Hard to say b/c she can't tell us yet. I'll be interested to hear about your experiences.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839052051073416028.post-78068696451142460172010-06-20T12:28:25.876-07:002010-06-20T12:28:25.876-07:00good luck Brad!good luck Brad!tracey (aka rainbowmummy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00606735165180129068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839052051073416028.post-62922098841952889452010-06-19T06:27:34.742-07:002010-06-19T06:27:34.742-07:00I have unbundled all the kids vaccines.

We had some exercises prescribed for our eldest son which improved his tracking and convergence (after we realised his glasses weren't really helping with his focus). I know our OT has some ideas about this too and I think Kris was doing some vision therapy" - whatever that means! It's so good to hear from you again and to know how Brad is going.father of fourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13545620094928864276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839052051073416028.post-89788091587136411722010-06-19T05:36:40.338-07:002010-06-19T05:36:40.338-07:00Alex (name changed due to weird stalker on my old ...Alex (name changed due to weird stalker on my old blog) failed a similar test and we had him evaluated by a developmental opthamologist who (of course!) recommended vision therapy (more therapy!!) He was found to have a convergence insufficiency.<br /><br />We will probably do the vision therapy at some point but for now just don't have the time or frankly the money for it since it isn't covered by insurance and neither is speech or OT (benefits ran out long ago.)<br /><br />I am somewhat skeptical of vision therapy since many traditional doctors say it is a bunch of crap but I have heard that it is very effective from many parents on online message boards. Kind of like OT for sensory integration. Not well accepted mainstream but many parents swear it works. Incidentally, Alex also needed glasses and is now recognizing people better!<br />Good luck!Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14934033119198457032noreply@blogger.com
