Does My Child Need Vision Therapy? (Dr. Leanna Dudley, O.D., FOVDR)

In this video, we explore the critical question: “Does my child need vision therapy?”

Vision therapy is an often overlooked but essential part of addressing learning, focus, and behavior challenges in children, especially those who are neurodivergent. If your child struggles with reading, attention, or coordination, or if they have been diagnosed with ADHD, dyslexia, or autism, vision therapy may be the solution you’ve been looking for.

As a parent, teacher, or clinician, understanding how visual processing issues can impact learning and development is key. Vision problems, such as eye tracking issues, binocular dysfunction, and convergence insufficiency, are common in children with dyslexia, ADHD, and autism, and can often be mistaken for other behaviors or learning difficulties.

In this video, Dr. Leanna Dudley (Optometrist and Founder of Denver Vision Therapy) will you identify signs that your child may need vision therapy, what types of issues vision therapy can address, and how to work with developmental optometrists and vision therapists to create a comprehensive treatment plan for your child. Gain a better understanding of how vision therapy can improve reading, attention, and overall academic performance.
