1 out of 4 children have undiagnosed vision problems that interfere with their ability to read and learn. Many of these children have been told their vision is fine, leaving parents struggling, trying to cope and searching for answers to their child's difficulties. Seeing 20/20 is just one of over 15 visual skills critical for reading and learning. Developmental optometrists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of vision problems that interfere with academic performance and can help a child or adult develop the necessary visual skills to meet the demands of any learning environment. For more information please visit our website or give us a call.

Our professional tutors as well as specialists from the fields of learning disabilities and educational psychology are committed to building supportive, individual relationships that provide instruction, strategies, understanding, and guidance to a wide range of students, including those who are struggling with school and those who are thriving. Families seeking our expertise may arrange a no-cost telephone consultation with our Educational Director or other staff to discuss their concerns and goals. We have no pre-set curriculum or program. Together we can review the existing knowledge of the student’s learning profile and the strategies you have used in the past. Based on that knowledge, we can identify appropriate services and strategies that we can provide to help achieve your goals.
