Success Stories Forest City Vision- Vision Therapy and Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation

“Quite honestly, we were very skeptical of vision therapy. It’s not something we have heard about before. However, after some research and reaching out to educators, we decided it was worth a shot. Even after we started therapy, we were uncertain that the unusual exercises would help our Daughters Vision improve. Our daughter’s vision issues were not tremendously noticeable, but the positive changes from the therapy were. 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!”

“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.”

“Our son developed an increased interest in reading and increased control of his eyes. Forest City Vision not only provided excellent medical care but also a supportive family. Since starting with FCV we have fully recommended their services to others including two additional family members. We are grateful.”

“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.”
