reading difficulties

What are the symptoms?

Dear Kay,
to get started look at our web site www n2reading.com. But basically
the symptoms are the same as for any dsylexic child. Our treatment
was first tried on college students in 1998 at Tennessee Tech University.
The treatment group of students not only got better scores on their
tests but were found to remain in college longer with higher GPA’s than
the control group.
Children or adults that have intermittent central suppression are constantly
losing their place when reading, mixing up begginins and endings of words
missnaming words, losing their place and can’t remember what they have just read. New research implicates the magnocellular pathway as the problem.
See “Binocular Visual Sensation in Reading A unified theory” by Eric Hussey
journal of behavioral optometry Vol 12/2001/Number 5 page 119.
copies available from Southern College of Optometry (you can get this
from them over the net for about $5) My treatment with alternating
occlusion will soon be available to Doctors of Optometry over the Net!
Children treated with alternate occlusion make remarkable improvments
in a very short time. I have even returned “dyslexic” children to the regular
classroom in just 3 months of therapy.
Happy reading Doctor Jim Miller

In researching vision problems, one of the things that has me confused at this point is the various causes and how symptoms may be similar. For example, from what I’ve read, losing one’s place, mixing up beginnings and endings, etc…. could be caused by convergence insufficency, occular motor dysfunction, vestibular problems, and also ICS (strabismus) as you’ve explained.

This is why real professionals need a four-year specialized degree and several hours of in-person examination and evaluation, and this is why treatment is expensive. Find a good well-trained professional with a good reputation and a record of success in your community, and then work with them.
