People with dyslexia who do letter reversals, can now be helped with vision therapy.

“My program’s aim is to identify and treat the core disorder. So much of what we learn depends on proper visual processing skills”, states Dr. Nicholson. “Regular eye exams only check for the need for glasses and this is not a problem that glasses alone can help”.
