Vision Therapy
Vision Therapy does not treat learning disabilities or dyslexia. Vision Therapy is a treatment programme to improve visual efficiency and visual processing, thereby allowing the person to be more responsive to educational instruction. It should be part of a multi-disciplinary approach to learning.
Vision is the dominant sense; by improving visual efficiency we are often able to ‘unlock’ the door to reaching reading potential. However, although in many cases the door may be unlocked by vision therapy, it still requires the client to want to make the journey into the room.
Vision therapy may comprise of lenses (corrective/ training), colorimetry (coloured overlays/precision tints) and/ or a course of tailor-made one-to-one exercises.
