What is Vision Therapy?
Essentially, Vision Therapy is eye exercise and training.
It is a treatment program designed to correct visual-motor
or perceptual-cognitive deficiencies. Vision Therapy
sessions include procedures designed to enhance the
brain's ability to control: eye alignment, eye teaming,
eye focusing abilities, eye movements, and visual
processing.
Vision
and Autism/ADHD
Visual problems are very common in individuals with
autism and Vision Therapy activities can be used to
stimulate general visual arousal, eye movements, and
the central visual system. To learn more visit covd.org.
Visual
Rehabilitation for Special Populations
Vision can be compromised as a result of neurological
disorders or trauma to the nervous system (such as,
traumatic brain injuries, stroke, whiplash, developmental
delays, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, etc.).
Vision Therapy can effectively treat the visual consequences
of trauma (including double vision).
