My childs school is telling us that my child may have ADD/ADHD/Dyslexia. But the vision exams are all 20/20, so its not a problem with their eyes, right?
Regrettably, NO. Children mis-diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, or Dyslexia (often on Ritalin or other meds which are not working) are seen very frequently at the Bernstein Center. Underlying, undiagnosed binocular vision problems are causing the symptoms. When you treat the vision problem – often the meds go away – but more importantly the child shows strong improvement in learning – AND now has the vision skills to reach their full potential.
