 Eye Tracking & Visual Discrimination
This is an area where I can personally relate. As a child and even an adult I read well orally and my comprehension was good so no one except me knew there was a problem with my eye tracking. I was a slow reader which frustrated me. In post-secondary school I quickly learned I had to choose my courses very carefully. Some of the courses I wanted to take just had too much reading and I knew I couldn't possibly keep up. In my early twenties I took a speed reading course and promptly wiped out. The teacher was very frustrated with my lack of success and so was I. In the early days of looking for answers for my own children we met an educational optometrist. I did the assessment alongside my children and wasn't surprised by my poor results. She looked at me in shock as I discussed what post-secondary schooling I had done given the results of my eye assessment. To make a long story short, I now have excellent eye tracking and wouldn't want to live without it. I only wish I had been fortunate enough to have had it developed long before my forties. I encourage you to investigate the resources below

 Use a dry erase board!
To prepare for a math test, write a few problems on a dry erase board. Children love using dry erase boards and many enjoy them more than traditional pencil and paper. Try out different coloured markers, too. Colour increases attention, so don't hesitate to use bold colours! |
