Visual Therapy for children with special needs

Vision is such an important sense to take care of as eyes are the physical Portal through which data from the environment is collected and sent to your brain for processing. If a child's visual skills are not adequately developed or a person fails to coordinate vision with other senses, vision problems may occur. With poor binocularity, for example one eye may locate an object in one place while the other eye locates it in another. These confusing signals may result in headaches, double vision, reduced performance in learning, discomfort, suppression and fatigue. Up to 25% of all children struggle with reading and learning problems because of undiagnosed vision conditions. Extensive research and clinical trials has shown that Visual Therapy is an effective program to improve the visual skills needed to achieve clear vision. Visual Therapy can enable your child with special needs to understand their surroundings with greater certainity and consequently improve associated behaviours such as anxiety, social skills and verbal skills. Each therapy program is fully customised to enhance and strengthen visual skills and re-train the child's visual system to interpret visual input with increased accuracy and ease. Visual Therapy is more than just eye exercises. It improves brain eye communication and the effective operating of the child's visual system.
