Vision Therapy
Katrina started Vision Therapy in February, and we now go up to the therapist every two weeks for an hour. It is in Peoria, which is about an hours drive from us. Katrina's therapist, Callie, has been very nice and has give us exercises to do at home. The therapy is to improve her eyes' ability to work together, and see larger areas at a time during reading. She also has glasses now, due to her being far-sighted. (Like me! I just got my first set of reading glasses as well.)
Some of what she does seems strange, like walk and forth holding a broom stick, and some seems obvious like tracking my finger moving back and forth, up and down, etc. She has been very positive about it, and the therapist says she has improved already. She will be giving us exercises to work on when we return to Tanzania. We are going to the Vision Therapy Center in Peoria, IL, and I recommend them to anyone with reading issues, headaches during reading, etc. They have even given us a "missionary" discount, bless them!!
