Inquiring minds want to know!
Welcome to YCDC's "Inside Scoop", a place where you can gain insights from others
in the dyslexia community and share your experiences. Tell us about what reading programs
worked for you, your child, or your students. Pose a question to the community; tell us
about schools using thoughtful and effective methods for supporting dyslexic students; tell us
about places and programs that might be overrated. We hope that postings will be constructive
and helpful to others. We reserve the right to remove material. We will not post contact
information, but ask that you leave your email address. The Center may wish to follow up
to learn more.

 Post subject: Eye Tracking Therapy Posted: Mon Jun 29, 2009 10:47 am |

My son is preparing for the SSAT and the tutor notice some skipping of syllables and vocabulary scoring lower than his intelligence (gifted IQ) and verbal conversation suggests. She suggested seeing an opthamologist that tests and then recommends if necessary eye tracking therapy to get him to his potential in reading to rule out any issues. The Dr. recommended is Dr. Carl Gruning in Southport who is apparently well-known for this.
We have some dyslexia reading issues in our family. This child has never exhibited this and read at an early age, but reading is always his lower score(but usually still in above average range). Does exceptionally well in math.
While reading is his weaker area, a learning disability has not been suggested. We are open to helping, but also realize that kids are different and with different strenghts. DOes anyone recommend this or know of scientific evidence that supports this therapy? |
