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. . .

ACHIEVERS UNLIMITED

Eyecare Specialties offers a program called Achievers Unlimited through its Children's Vision and Learning Center. Achievers Unlimited 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. Achievers Unlimited visual processing therapy is administered in one-on-one sessions by our skilled learning coaches and includes home assignments.

The goal of Achievers Unlimited 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.

INCREASE SKILLS BY OVER 2 YEARS!

Achievers Unlimited provides visual and auditory therapies that improve processing skills in children and young adults by an average of 2 years. These therapies primarily serve
children and young adults ages 6-26 who experience vision related difficulties.

TESTIMONIAL

Andy was struggling badly with reading and having a hard time staying on each line. He was tested for dyslexia but it came back negative. His reading coach recommended Achievers Unlimited...
"The turn around has been amazing in the last 3 months! Andy went from not being able to spell the word 'was' to making us listen to him read (the book) Amelia Bedelia! It has literally changed his life. - The program is a 10. When you consider it's an investment in something as fundamental as reading, it's a no-brainer. I would highly recommend the program to anyone." Eric Hansen Parker, CO

IT'S NOT JUST KID'S STUFF

Achievers Unlimited also enjoys working with adults who experience the frustration of a visual processing dysfunction. Highly motivated, intelligent people often experience these problems. Achievers Unlimited can also help students who wish to improve test scores such as CSAP,SAT, GRE and LSAT.
