Things To Know About Developmental Vision Therapy SW MI

By David Meyer


This is a learning process which is incorporated to children at their developing stage, who lacks the ability to clearly see and relate to things around their immediate environment. It then calls for a process of training where the kids are taught how to visualize and relate to their world and not to just see. Even those who have an accurate sight might require this training. The following is what developmental vision therapy SW MI entails.

Eye examination. The first thing that is undertaken during this process is an eye exam. For proper diagnosis to be done, the child in this case must receive a good examination that will help the doctor to bring out the problem clearly. A good treatment plan that sees the correction of the problem can only be adopted if good examination is taken into account. This is also important to ensure that no assumptions are made during diagnosis.

Prescriptions are carried out. Through a well qualified, experienced and specialized physician to the problem seen in the above process, prescriptions are made. These may entail a treatment plan and also a strict follow up to the problem to ensure that the treatment is going through the right direction. This prescription should be in line with the diagnosis made and that is why a prior eye examination is to be done whenever such problems are experienced.

The course duration. Different problems will require different course duration for them to be completely rectified. These all validate the important of a proper diagnosis. A specialized physician is to do the prescription and assign the right period that treatment is supposed to occur to ensure relevant results are obtained. Less complex conditions can take a minimum duration of 6 months to a maximum of 12 months while those more complex might exceed a year.

Appointments follows. After prescription, there are appointment sessions that the patient is supposed to follow. These are sessions that are set aside for an individual patient with the therapist so as to develop an individual treatment. This helps the therapist to develop an understanding on the problem of the patient as an individual and how to go about it for it to be rectified. These appointments take forty five minutes every week.

Home activities are also important to. As part of prescription and treatment plan, home activities are incorporated. These might be taken on individual basis and also might involve the help of a parent. These too are to be prescribed by a doctor and a patient is supposed to follow them to the letter. These activities are meant to facilitate the rectification of the problem. They take place daily and only for twenty minutes.

Incorporation of motivation. As explained above, this process might be very involving and demanding. It hence tells you that success is not to be achieved by those who give up easily. It therefore calls for one to have both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation so as to make it through the treatment process.

The success of the program. The program success depends on a lot of factors which should be taken note on and the patient should be made aware of. These include the motivation talked in the paragraph above and also a strict follow up to the prescription and other treatment plans made.
