What is Vision Therapy and how can it benefit my child?

Vision Therapy is a personalised programme aimed at enhancing and strengthening visual skills crucial for academic success and daily activities. These skills include eye-tracking, focusing, convergence, eye-hand coordination, and visual processing speed. By incorporating personalised exercises and specialised equipment such as lenses, prisms, filters, occluders, and computer programmes, Vision Therapy aims to improve the efficiency of the visual system and enhance the child’s ability to process visual information effectively.

How do I know if my child needs Vision Therapy?

Children who experience difficulties with reading, writing, attention, hand-eye coordination, or sports performance may benefit from Vision Therapy. Signs that your child may benefit include frequent headaches, eye strain, avoidance of reading or close work, poor handwriting, or difficulties with depth perception.

What does a typical Vision Therapy session involve?

Vision Therapy sessions are tailored to the individual needs of each child. They typically consist of a series of specialised exercises and activities designed to target specific visual skills. These exercises may involve using various equipment such as lenses, prisms, occluders, and computer programmes under the guidance of a trained therapist.

At what age can children start Vision Therapy?

Vision Therapy can be beneficial for children of various ages, starting as early as preschool age. The suitability of Vision Therapy for your child will depend on their specific visual challenges and developmental stage. Our therapists will conduct a comprehensive assessment to determine the most appropriate course of action.
