Neurodevelopmental Optometry
Specialized eye exams assessing visual processing, coordination, and neurological connections. Identifies hidden vision issues impacting learning, balance, and cognitive function. Treats retained primitive reflexes and sensory integration challenges through customized therapeutic interventions.
Vision Therapy
Personalized treatment programs improving eye coordination, focusing, and visual processing skills. Addresses convergence insufficiency, tracking problems, and binocular vision disorders. Utilizes specialized lenses, prisms, and neurosensory techniques for lasting functional improvements.
Reading Therapy
Targeted interventions for reading difficulties caused by visual processing deficits. Combines Phono-Graphix methodology with visual-motor integration training. Addresses dyslexia-related visual challenges and improves academic performance through neuro-optometric rehabilitation.
Primitive Reflex Therapy
Specialized treatment addressing retained primitive reflexes affecting posture, coordination, and learning. Uses sensory-motor integration techniques to resolve developmental delays. Improves neurological organization for better cognitive and physical functioning in children and adults.
Magnocellular Therapy
Targeted interventions for magnocellular visual pathway deficiencies. Improves visual timing, motion perception, and spatial awareness. Addresses symptoms like light sensitivity, reading instability, and visual fatigue through specialized PATH program techniques.
