How Vision Therapy Can Help With Preschool Vision Development
Preschool is a time of tremendous development for children, both intellectually, socially and in their physical development. One field which is often ignored is preschool visual development, yet this sphere can be principal in children's learning and school performance for many years to come.
Normal Preschool Development.
Normal preschool development is regularly charted by what are known as milestones, that is identifiable developmental points which must be achieved in a specific time frame. This progression is simple to see in a child who has physical developmental challenges, but it is much harder to see when it involves the visual system.
Frequently parents, teachers and even Optometrists have a very straightforward and often ineffective point of view of visual milestones, thinking that if the child can see correctly (say to the 20/20 line), if they do not have a mammoth prescription and if their eyes are basically straight then they must be OK, but as a pratitioner who has practiced in this field for over twenty years, I want to challenge that idea and suggest something which may change a child's life forever.
Preschool Vision Development: A Higher Criterion!
Having tested the eyes of thousands of children with identifiable learning disabilities, I can confirm that the vast majority of them have visual problems, yet nearly always they pass the doctor's eye test. This is because merely seeing, not having a big script and having your eyes mostly straight is a very poor standard for vision development. It's the base level, yet there is so much more to learning than just seeing!
As a preschooler develops they are required to progress skills. Practically all of them see, just about all of them have straight eyes, yet not all of them advance the skills necessary for learning in coming years. That's where vision therapy can enter and make a huge difference!
Vision Therapy Can Improve Preschool Vision Skills
Specific vision skills are required for your Preschooler's development, and these include eye coordination and focus, eye movements, coding, sequencing, gross and fine motor, balance, visual memory and a whole host of other skills. Think about it: simply because a child can see, does not mean they can hit a ball, stay on the same line when reading, recall spelling words or cease writing letters the wrong way round!
The wonderful and thrilling news is that we can educate these skills. There's no magic pill, no magic glasses, but just a bit of hard work in the suitable areas can yield astonishing results in your child, even if they appear to be keeping up with other children! That's right, if you do the best therapies, you can super charge your child's learning ability since you are giving them the skills they need to learn earlier than they would have otherwise developed them!
I have developed a specialized vision therapy program designed to train your child these essential vision skills in a rapid period of time. This program is cheap, takes about 20 minutes a day and is finished over several months, and we are receiving extraordinary feedback from parents telling us that their children are making remarkable progress in their preschool vision development!
If you are anxious about your preschool child and their development, or if you simply want to impart to them an “unfair advantage” over the other kids and super charge their learning, this program is the answer.
