Parents Say ... Equip Them for Life
"We've definitely seen some improvement with our children. Parents will do pretty much anything to help their kids and equip them for life later on. This is definitely a tool to do that."
BrainWare SAFARI and Vision Therapy
The College of Optometrists in Vision Development, the organization that certifies eye doctors and vision therapists who provide developmental vision care, vision therapy and visual rehabilitation lists six learning related vision issues addressed by vision therapy:
- eye tracking skills - eyes following a line of print
- eye teaming skills - two eyes working together as a synchronized team
- binocular vision - simultaneously blending the images from both eyes into one image
- accommodation - eye focusing
- visual-motor integration - eye-hand coordination
- visual perception - visual memory, visual form perception, and visualization
Many vision development specialists use BrainWare in conjunction with vision therapy, especially to address that last two learning-related vision issues – visual-motor integration and visual perception. Because BrainWare SAFARI can be used by the patient at home, it can be incorporated as an adjunct to in-office vision therapy or as a follow-on to an in-office program to reinforce and extend the integration of visual integration and visual perception skills.
BrainWare SAFARI has developed a diagnostic protocol which can be used to enhance the traditional eye by uncovering visual system deficits not easily identified otherwise, and making it easy for a parent to immediately grasp that their child has a visual system problem, and accept the treatment recommendation.
