So much of what a child learns in school is taken in visually in a classroom setting. Many learning and reading problems are a direct result of vision problems. Having a child tested early by a member of the College of Optometrists in Vision Development (COVD) can save them shame and frustration and provide them a great foundation for learning.

BUT MY CHILD HAS 20/20 EYESIGHT

The American Optometric Association states that 20% of school-aged children with 20/20 eyesight may be affected by learning related vision disorders. These disorders relate to eye tracking, teaming, focusing and visual processing abilities. These disorders may not be identified in a traditional eye exam or in school screenings designed to test vision clarity.

Traditional learning centers address tutoring in specific subjects but do not identify the underlying cause of the learning difficulty. . .

THE FALCON RPI SYSTEM™

Great Vision offers a program called The Falcon RPI System™ through its Perfomance Vision Center. The Falcon RPI System provides proven therapeutic techniques to correct specific visual and auditory problems that can affect a child's ability to learn. Children who perform below their potential because of visual processing problems need vision therapy to improve their performance.  The Falcon RPI System™ visual processing therapy is administered in one-on-one sessions by our skilled vision therapists and includes home activities.

The goal of The Falcon RPI System™ is to improve cognitive functions of children displaying some of the following symptoms:

• Poor attention and/or concentration
• Poor memory
• Poor comprehension skills
• Avoidance of school work
• Slow work
• Reversal of letters/words

• Poor reading skills
• Eye fatigue/headaches
• Poor math skills
• Poor spelling skills
• Poor writing skills
• Loss of place when reading
• Motivation/behavior

Many children with these symptoms are often diagnosed as having Attention Deficit or Hyperactivity related problems and are treated with a drug therapy regime. Having your child screened first by an optometrist trained in Vision Development to determine if learning therapy is the correct approach, may spare your child unnecessary drug therapy.
