Of all of our senses, that which is the most important in the learning process is vision. Over 85% of all we ever learn is thought to have been received Any parent looking for help for their child with a learning difficulty should ensure that they have checked out the possibility of vision problems at an early stage.
Keith Holland & Associatesare able to look beyond the standard eye examination to the vision as a whole. Many children who are diagnosed as dyslexic or who are underachieving at school, can show simple vision problems that are not picked up in standard eye examinations.
Several recent studies have suggested that as many as eighty percent of dyslexic children have unresolved eye problems contributing to their reading and spelling difficulties - even though they may see well and pass simple vision screening tests such as those carried out in schools.
Assessment and treatment is possible at any age and is not confined to children, however, the sooner the problems are spotted and tackled – the less misery for the individual and the better their quality of life.
