Larry Fitzgerald Offers Advice for Parents With Struggling Readers

g homework than it should take
  • Reverses letters like b's into d's when reading
  • Has a short attention span with reading and schoolwork

    • Any one of these symptoms is a sign of a possible vision problem. A more in-depth symptom checklist is available on COVD's website.

    Not all eye doctors test for learning-related vision problems, so it is important for parents to ask the right questions. Call your eye doctor's office and ask the following two questions:

    1. Do you test for learning-related vision problems?
    2. Do you provide an in-office vision therapy program when indicated, or will you refer me to someone who does?

    If the answer is no to either one or both of these questions, visit COVD's website, www.covd.org, to find a developmental optometrist near you.

    In closing, the President of COVD, Dr. Carol Scott, a developmental optometrist from Springfield, Missouri says, "In celebration of August being National Children's Vision and Learning Month, I invite you to visit our website and learn more about the vital role vision plays in our children's education."
