Trying to find out some information on dislexic type learning disabilities
and was also wondering if anyone heard of binocular deficiency. My son is
in the middle of testing that is pointing towards a dislexic type ld, but
when phoning around to set up an appt to get his eyes checked, was told
about the later, and a controversial technique of vision training. They
would test for problems with the muscles in his eyes, and would then have
sessions designed to train his vision so he would be able to see ( would fix
the problem/dislexic vision) Any thoughts, experience? This training is
not covered under any insurance, but if it is something that could truly
help my son, how could I possibly not take advantage of it?
