Does My Child Need Vision Therapy?

A Vision Therapist works with children who have visual loss or a brain based Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI).  They assess functional vision and help optimize the use of vision as well as the use of other senses.

Vision therapists address areas of early childhood development in which vision loss has an impact and assist in making environmental adaptations.  They work on beginning literacy skills for future Braille and print readers by developing strong tactile, visual, and listening skills. 

In addition, a vision therapist will also interpret eye reports and help the family understand the child’s eye condition.

Please don’t hesitate to contact TEIS for more information about VisionTherapy.
