The bottom line is that if your child is having trouble reading, falling behind, there is a 90% chance they have at least some correctable visual dysfunction that can mostly likely be addressed. The physical underpinnings of language learning must be firmly in place in order to enable cognitive processes and optimize results of instruction and interention.
