When it comes to caring for children’s vision, Vision Therapy offers a powerful solution. This specialized therapy treats visual challenges like lazy eye, crossed eyes, double vision, and even some learning disabilities. At the Neuro-Visual Performance Institute in Versailles and Somerset, Kentucky, Dr. Rick Graebe FCOVD has transformed the lives of many young patients. But the real proof lies in the stories shared by parents and children who’ve experienced these changes firsthand.
Parents Share Their Experiences
For many parents, watching their child struggle with reading or learning can be a stressful and emotional experience. Here are a few testimonials from parents who saw their children improve dramatically after completing Vision Therapy with Dr. Graebe.
Bonnie Williams, a mother whose daughter, Emma, participated in Vision Therapy, expressed her gratitude:
“I struggle with the words to describe how Vision Therapy has helped my daughter Emma. She is an intelligent and imaginative child who struggled with reading and grammar. Her attention span was poor and her self-esteem was beginning to suffer. I saw an improvement in all areas within the first month of therapy! Emma’s grades improved, her focus improved, and her confidence skyrocketed. Dr. Graebe gave Emma hope for improvement and reassurance that her problems could be corrected.”
Emma’s story is just one of many, highlighting how quickly Vision Therapy can turn things around for children struggling with visual issues.
Another parent, Sonya Conner, shared the positive changes she saw in her daughter Audrey:
“When we started Vision Therapy, my daughter Audrey had a hard time with reading. She could follow along well if she also followed along each line with her finger. There has been great improvement in her reading, and she enjoys reading now. Before, she would rather do something else. I believe because we parents also did the activities with her during Vision Therapy, it made it more fun for her to do the eye work at home. Thank you to all the staff for all you have done for us.”
For parents like Bonnie and Sonya, Vision Therapy offered a way to help their children not only improve academically but also regain their confidence and joy in learning.
Children Describe Their Journey
The positive impact of Vision Therapy isn’t limited to what parents observe – children themselves notice the changes. Take Haley Flynn, a 9-year-old girl who once struggled with reading. After completing Vision Therapy, Haley said:
“Vision Therapy has really helped me. I used to not enjoy reading, but now my eyes don’t hurt and strain. Now, I love reading. Before Vision Therapy I used to write downhill. Now I write nicer. Now when I look at things it is really clear. Vision Therapy has really helped me!!!”
Another young patient, Harrison Owen, also shared his experience:
“Before I started Vision Therapy, I had trouble reading and seeing. When I read, the words would wiggle. Then my mom found this place where they could help my eyes. I love Vision Therapy. My favorite part is working with Ms. Pat because she is funny and we get to do a lot of fun things. Now the words don’t wiggle, and I can read better. Pretty please, can I have more sessions?”
Haley and Harrison’s stories highlight the way Vision Therapy can dramatically improve not only a child’s reading skills but also their overall experience with learning.
