Learning to See = Seeing to Vision, Learning & Behavior by Dr. Patrick Quaid et al, will unlock the connection between eyesight, education, and behaviors in children. How can you have 20/20 vision and not see well? Why are some very bright children unable to concentrate while reading and are unable to memorize what they see? This book will be especially interesting for teachers, educators, and parents with children who struggle to learn, are on an IEP, or who have been identified with ADD or ADHD. Learn about visual processing and why some children and adults struggle to see and understand what everyone else does naturally. Discover how challenges with visual processing can be corrected.
I began reading, clearly skeptical of eye therapy and ended the book considering it for a student I know. Therefore, it has the power to convert. However, as a collection of essays from various eye therapists and other eye professionals whose expertise is not beautiful writing, it wasn't the most scintillating read.
It helped me to understand why some children have more difficulty reading than others. It's not just that they are lazy or indifferent, but the act of reading is not natural to them and thereby uncomfortable and to be avoided.
