Hi. My name is Dr. Theresa
Rua Is your child struggling in school? Do you feel that he is not reaching his full
learning potential? The problem may be undetected
visual deficiencies. Deficient visual skills are the most common undiagnosed cause of poor academic results. Did you know that one out of four children has vision disorders
that interfere with their ability to learn. Many of these children
struggle throughout the academic environment as discouraged students who are
unable to meet the expectations of parents and teachers. A vision check does not test a child's focusing ability, tracking or visual perception skills. Many children pass their annual school vision screening or the pediatrician's eye chart, but remain undiagnosed with problems of the visual system. I would like to provide you with a resource that will enable
you to evaluate and improve a wide range of visual abilities by doing easy and
fun activities with your children.
Improving visual abilities will enhance your child's attentiveness,
reading, and comprehension skills. The Vision and Learning Handbook will help your child reach his or her full learning potential. Vision therapy can cost up to $4,000 at your optometrists office.
The Vision & Learning Handbook costs $25.00. At that price, The Vision & Learning Handbook is a very affordable alternative to those expensive office visits. To Order The Vision & Learning Handbook is a 36 page manual I have written based on my clinical experience in working with children. My patients not only include academically challenged students, but also more serious issues such as ADHD and other learning disabilities. I have seen the activities included in The Vision & Learning Handbook dramatically improve academic performance and self-esteem. Signs
and symptoms of Visual Deficiencies are: * Reads easily at the beginning of the book, but struggles through the end or gives up * Short attention span * Frustration while reading or writing * Complains of red, itching, burning, watering, eyes when reading * Holding reading material very close * Complains of blurred vision even though he as 20/20 vision * Intermittent blur in the distance and up close *
Headaches *
Complaining about a
long reading assignment *
Inattentiveness *
Hyperactivity *
Impulsivity Among the vision disorders
that commonly interfere with classroom performance are inadequate binocular eye
coordination and focusing abilities. Constant
fatigue causes failure Poor binocularity means
that the eyes are not putting forth equal effort. Can you imagine the difference between lifting a heavy object
with one hand compared to two? This is
what a child with a binocular disorder is dealing with. The good eye becomes so
fatigued that the child becomes frustrated or tired. Signs and symptoms of poor binocularity are: * Headaches * Constantly falls asleep while reading * Poor reading comprehension * Closes one eye while reading. * Complains of words running together * Has double vision while reading with both eyes open * Eye discomfort or strained feeling during or after reading. * Starts off reading well but looses interest after the first few pages * Rereading material over and over again in order to understand it Visual skills give us
the ability to process information through our eyes. Accommodation and Binocularity are only two of the many problems that
the Vision & Learning handbook deals with. The
Vision
& Learning handbook will focus on each separate skill that a child
needs to reach his or her maximum learning potential. To simplify, these skills have been grouped into 11 separate abilities and divided among 3 categories. I.

Integration Comprehension
often suffers as a result of excess effort required to make the print clear and
single. Many children struggle unnecessarily, require
extra time to complete assignments, or simply avoid reading. Deficits in visual tracking may also interfere with classroom performance. Inadequate visual tracking causes jerky and inaccurate eye movements when reading, loss of place, poor copying skills, a need to use finger or marker to keep place, misaligning digits in columns of numbers, and difficulty with Scantron type test answer sheets. Visual
perceptual deficits should be suspected when a child confuses similar looking
words, fails to recognize words previously learning, or fails to demonstrate
adequate sight recognition. Excessive reversals
are also a common sign of a visual perception disorder. Since these
deficits interfere with reading in the earliest stages of learning to read,
they should be particularly suspect in the child whose reading problem began in
the first grade. Visual perception involves the ability to make visual
judgments, recognize and remember shapes and forms, see similarities and
differences, and process information. When these visual disorders are treated, many parents report
not only that their children's symptoms of eyestrain, blurred vision, loss of
place, copying difficulty, and double vision have been resolved, but they are also doing
much better and reading and in school overall. After using the Vision & Learning Handbook, children frequently complete homework more easily and begin to enjoy
reading
for the first time. They experience less frustration with schoolwork, have more
self-confidence, and exhibit greater self-esteem. To Order If you have a question for Dr. Rua, please email her at: od4Jesus@optonline.net |
