SMART. CAPABLE CHILD. STILL STRUGGLING?
If your child is bright — but school feels harder than it should — the problem may not be motivation, not dyslexia… and it may not be ADHD.
It could be a hidden visual skill deficit.
And most screenings never catch it.
You Know They’re Smart.
But you’re seeing:
Homework battles every night
Slow, effortful reading
Losing their place on the page
Complaints that words move or blur
Avoidance of reading or writing
Short attention span during near work
Falling confidence
“S/He just needs to try harder” comments from school
You’ve tried tutoring.
You’ve talked to teachers.
You’ve wondered about ADHD.
You've tested for Dyslexia and/or Dysgraphia
And nothing has fully explained it.
That’s exhausting — for you and for them
Here’s What Most Parents Don’t Realize
School vision screenings and routine eye exams test eyesight (20/20).
They do NOT test:
Eye teaming
Eye tracking
Focusing stamina
Visual processing
Spatial awareness
Visual-motor integration
And those ARE the skills required for:.
Reading fluency
Comprehension
Attention
Writing
Test performance
Athletic performance
Therefore a child can see 20/20 and still struggle significantly with learning.
WHY THIS GETS MISSED
Many children who are labeled as:
Distracted, Immature, Lazy, ADHD, Dyslexic
or “Not applying themselves”
Are actually working 2–3x harder just to keep their eyes coordinated and focused.
When vision is inefficient, the brain diverts energy toward basic visual control — leaving less available for comprehension, memory, and attention.
That’s not a motivation issue.
That’s a visual skill issue.
Vision is more than seeing clearly.
It is the brain’s ability to derive meaning and guide action in space.
When vision works correctly, learning becomes easier!

What Our Families Say
Now Reading for Enjoyment!
"We were used to watching her dread doing homework, wiggling nonstop, constantly adjusting her papers or books to make sense of the words. Now she sits willingly and nicely when completing her work and even chooses to read for enjoyment! She is also far more positive and happier now too. We never had behavior issues, but she came across as “down” a lot and is now more energetic and always smiling. The therapist, Jes, is the Key to our daughter’s success! Jes is engaging and challenging yet knows when to pull back and is filled with never ending encouragement. When our Daughter struggled, Jes pointed out her success to keep her from giving up. We are very grateful for the leap of faith we took with Forest City Vision because our daughter can now reach her potential in so many ways!”
A complete 180! - Reading Better and Writing Better.
“Breck has done a complete 180°. He would struggle with homework and reading. Every night was night was a battle to get work done. I was hesitant when we started therapy. Some of the exercises seemed so silly. But within a few weeks, he was reading better and even writing better. It’s crazy to see where we started and then to now at the end. I will forever recommend eye therapy and be so thankful for all it did for Breck.”
On The Edge of Needing Significant Intervention-Now Grade Level!
“Madeline has benefitted tremendously from her vision therapy. She has made huge strides with her reading ablities. When we started she was on the edge of needing significant interventions. Once we identified this was due to a vision problem and she worked her therapy program, she has caught up to her peers and is now reading at grade level. Her overall confidence towards reading and school work has grown immensly. She now brings books to bed to read at night and picks out chapter books to read by herself. She was always excited to do her therapy activities and see her new activities each week.”
WHAT PARENTS TELL US AFTER THERAPY
“Homework isn’t a battle anymore.”
“He reads because he wants to.”
“Her confidence skyrocketed.”
“Teachers noticed the difference.”
“I wish we had done this sooner.”
The greatest change isn’t just grades.
It’s how your child feels about themselves.
We're often asked:
Is Vision Therapy Covered by Insurance?
Most therapy programs are private pay.
We provide documentation for possible reimbursement.
We also offer structured payment options.
Our goal is clarity — not surprise.
If your child is struggling daily, early intervention prevents years of frustration.
What if it isn’t a vision issue?
Then you leave knowing that with confidence — and we can help guide your next step.
Clarity is powerful.
We See a Limited Number of Therapy Patients at a Time
Because therapy requires individualized care and trained therapists, appointment availability is limited.
If you are concerned, don’t wait.
Don’t Let Another School Year Feel Like This
