Texas Vision Therapy

As the school year ends, many parents are asking the same question:

What do we do now?

If your child’s teacher has mentioned struggles with reading, attention during schoolwork, losing place, skipping lines, or avoiding near tasks, summer can be a great time to look more closely at what may be going on.

At Texas Vision Therapy, we evaluate how children are using their eyes for reading and learning-related tasks.

If you want answers before next school year starts, reach out to our office to schedule an evaluation!

If your kid struggled with reading this year in school, and if they do things like:

- Read using their finger to keep place
- Have to read, and read, and reread everything but they can’t remember what they read
- If their handwriting is terrible and they always copy down the wrong stuff off the board
- If they are reportedly better at math than reading, and they admit they “don’t like reading”

Bring them to see us to help you learn what’s going on and what can be done for it!

Is your child reversing letters and you're not sure whether to worry?

The new episode of See It Differently is out now and we're getting into one of the questions I hear most from parents of early elementary kids.

Why do kids reverse letters? What does (and doesn't) it tell you? And when does a normal developmental phase become something worth looking into?

We also tackle the dyslexia question head-on, because the connection between reversals and dyslexia is one of the most misunderstood things in early literacy, and clearing it up can save a lot of unnecessary panic.

Why Your Child Reverses Letters (And When to Worry) See It Differently · Episode

Since it's the holiday season, here's our fourth fun activity that you can do with your younger children!

𝐌𝐢𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐞

Stand facing your child and make slow movements with one side of your body while they copy using their opposite side, creating a mirror effect (meaning, you're moving your right side and they copy by moving their left side).

Start with simple arm raises, then progress to more complex movements involving moving two things at the same time (such as your right hand and your left foot; they'd have to move their left hand and right foot).

This advanced mirroring activity challenges spatial awareness and helps develop the mental flexibility needed for complex coordination tasks.
