Now, Your Children Can See How to Achieve!

Eyesight, or more properly, being able to see well, is foundational for academic achievement. You may think you know that and say to me that schools always screen for vision. Well, they do screen, but those screenings do not even look for some foundational problems relating to reading. They, may, however, screen for ESP! according to Texas law! Yikes! However, pervasively, what happens next is often counterproductive.

Then, even if you have your child seen by an eye doctor, Irlen syndrome is not screened. Further, in some cases, the prescriptions are not helpful at all. I explain this from my own experience.

In no case will conventional measures offer actual help in seeing better (once again, no cure, only lifetime payments). Is this accommodation rather than remediation…AGAiN?

There is good news. Beyond miracles, health measures can work wonders. Even screening for Irlen and getting an eye doctor familiar with Irlen syndrome may help immensely.

Hear my story and find clue to what you can do for your child.

Child Having Trouble Reading? Test this First!

Dr. Carol Zuccone, the Irlen representative explains this fairly common light sensitivity. Often there is a fairly easy remedy too. She tells us what mothers and teachers might look for. She says that it is educators that test for this, and so it gets overlooked by other professionals, but if this light sensitivity is not ruled out, then other tests are skewed.

Next week we will wrap up our series on what to do when the road to reading becomes rocky with an interview from Jennifer Sangave of Lindamood-Bell. It is absolutely amazing what they do. They help so many children who know one else could help.

After that I plan to post again the Dani Johnson episode on protecting our children from porn, since it was so enormously popular. Please plan to share your ideas, since social media protection has become so much more needed now than when she spoke with us.
