Yay, Minky!

Minky had his 2nd progress check with his vision therapist yesterday. His visual processing speed and ability have increased tremendously over the last 30 weeks of therapy and his tracking ability is nearly where it should be. At his recent school conference, he was at or just above beginning 2nd grade levels for his reading and writing.

The doctor told me that one of the tests in particular had amazing results. Last July, he was unable to complete the entire test, took 110 seconds to do what he could do, and had 40 errors. Yesterday, he completed the entire test in less than 60 seconds and had no errors!

He's made a great deal of progress in the last 6+ months. Next week, we will be transferring his care to another vision therapist whose office is nearer to us. The new doctor is a close friend of our current doctor and is one of the leading vision therapy specialists in the nation. We are deeply grateful that our doctor was able to get us onto this patient load!
