GOALS OF VISION THERAPY

We have had lots of questions about what vision therapy is and how ours is different. There is so much to say about VT and why we do it, also so many reasons why it is so special at Elemental. In a nutshell, our program is goal based and in addition to the individual goals of the patient, we also aspire to achieve all of the following in our program. The reason for this is to give a child the tools necessary for success. You use almost 90% of your brain in the process of vision, that's why it affects so much of what we do. Here are our goals of vision therapy:

• Awareness
• Self Monitoring
• Central and Peripheral Organization
• Matching Internal and External Realities
• Integration of Sensory Systems
• Improving Visual Attention
• Thinking
• Improving Just Noticeable Difference

...and most important

• Transfer

The final goal of our program is for children to take the skills that they have mastered and use them in life, in all areas, not just the classroom.
