vision therapy

Addie has been in Vision Therapy for the past 8 weeks. We found that her eyes were crossing sometimes (strabismus). She goes to class once a week and learns exercises that force her to work her eyes both independently and together to strengthen them in order to enhance her ability to control eye alignment, eye teaming, eye focusing abilities, eye movements, and/or visual processing. Then, throughout the week, we work on her "homework."

At the beginning of the video, she is doing mazes while wearing her red/green glasses-this works one eye at a time, then we switch the red/greens around. Same with the dominos...while she has the red/greens, she can only see the dots out of one eye at a time.
