Success Stories
Annie and Paige
I don’t know how many times thank you is appropriate, but we are so grateful for all you and your great staff have done. Paige and Annie are both doing awesome. Annie tested above grade level again in her reading and she loves to write and solve story problems – well all math she is doing well with according to her teacher. You won’t be surprised to hear that her teacher commented on how accurate she is with everything.
Paige just finished up taking the ELP tests for junior high and said they were easy. She also attributed the fact that she memorized so many piano pieces this summer to “getting her eyes fixed”. She has herself signed up for a math competition in a few weeks and a creative problem solving competition in the spring – her confidence in her “brainy abilities” has really blossomed. She also doesn’t get stressed by homework anymore.
Scotty
We are so thankful for your time and services that you gave our son, Scotty. Scotty was diagnosed with Amblyopia in Kindergarten. He was given glasses and sent on his way. We were fortunate to get a referral to you guys from my aunt and to get Scotty the therapies that we didn’t even know he needed. He struggled to read and really hated to read in Kindergarten. It was a daily struggle to get him to do his reading homework. He was in the lowest reading group at school. He didn’t like going to school. After coming to therapy for a few months and wearing his eye patch, he had a dramatic improvement in his reading. He went up to the grade level reading group at school and his hatred of reading went away. Not to say he loved to read, but it wasn’t a battle for us anymore. His overall experience at school improved and now that he is in 1st grade he is doing wonderfully and loves school. We were so happy with his test results at the end of his therapy to see how dramatic his improvement was.
Scotty loves you guys! He was so excited every Wednesday to come in to your office and do his therapy. You were all so patient and kind with him. You encouraged and pushed him when he needed it and we are so thankful. He was sad when he was finished!
We already referred some friends to your office and we will continue to do so in the future!
Kaylee’s Story
When Kaylee was a baby, I noticed her eyes didn’t always work together—one would look out the window while the other focused on me. Concerned, we took her to Primary Children’s where she was diagnosed with intermittent exotropia. Since surgery wasn’t recommended, we monitored it yearly but saw little change.
As she got older, learning to read became a real struggle. Despite trying sounds and letters, Kaylee grew frustrated and discouraged, often in tears. As a teacher, I knew something more was going on. After hearing about Dr. Davies, we scheduled a vision screening. He confirmed her clarity was fine, but her eye coordination was causing the issues. In November 2010, we started Vision Therapy.
Over the course of 24 sessions, Kaylee’s confidence grew. Her reading improved dramatically, and she became eager to read and learn. Her teacher also noticed major progress. Today, Kaylee is thriving.
Dr. Davies and his team truly care and make learning fun. Vision Therapy changed our lives, and I’m so grateful we found it.
