I took Joseph to the Optometrist today for a regular check-up. He did very well and is seeing 20/20. The Dr. did ask if he’s having any problems, to which I related some of the reading difficulties he’s been having. While we believe they are more because he is just too impatient, I wonder sometimes.
So, she recommended a visual/learning assessment which they can do at their office. It costs $250, but would be worth it to find out if there is something not yet clicking in that brain of his.
I’m going to find out more and it might just be our next step. Despite meeting end of grade requirements to get to 2nd grade, his interim report said he was behind again in reading. And we did a ton of practice over the summer months! Ugh!
