GIFTED STUDENTS
At Cook Vision Therapy Center we consider a privilege and delight
to work with gifted students. Too often, gifted children with frustrating
vision problems manage to get "good grades," but are often over-looked when
it comes to the need for vision therapy. As parents, you should ask the
question, "Is my gifted child performing at potential?"
Gifted children with eye-muscle coordination problems compensate by learning
to skim the material, leaving out or misreading words, but nevertheless
using intelligence to make sense out of what they have read.
Many gifted children have average eye- hand coordination, which just is
not good enough. If "your mind travels at a hundred miles per hour
while your hands are lucky to make the speed limit," getting thoughts
on the page is going to be a chore.
If your child is frustrated and not working to potential, a vision evaluation
is in order, no matter how good your child's grades may be. |
