My son has been doing VT, for about six months. He was working on focusing, eye teaming and tracking. Recently his Dr. did a Perceputal Visual Battery. The test results showed my son had, some very low scores in the visual motor area. Is there anything eles that can be done for him beside VT?Would OT help him? The school tested him in the OT area and said he was fine. I wonder though, if he has such low areas in visual motor, wouldn’t that spill over to the vestibular area?
PACE (Processing and Cognitive Enhancement) should help. That’s what we did after 6 months of vision therapy. About a year after PACE I took dd back to the developmental optometrist for a check of her progress. Lots of scores in the 90+ percentile, including visual motor integration! PACE does a lot to develop visual processing skills.
My dd has some minor OT issues that are probably related to the vision problems, but nothing major. If you want to work on everything, I would advise getting an eval by a private OT who is trained to assess sensory integration. School testing would have totally ignored my dd’s problems because they are relatively minor. Auditory problems are much more likely to cause severe OT problems, but vision problems have an impact too.
