18.01.2022 If your little one gets "the worries" or a "bubbly tummy" - also known as anxiety - try this simple trick to focus their attention, their hands and their breathing, and bring back some calm.

18.01.2022 Convergence insufficiency is the inability to maintain binocular function (keeping the two eyes working together maintaining a single image) while at a near distance. It is one of the most common vision difficulties that goes undetected. This superstar is heading in to high school next year and both her and her mother had decided enough was enough. They needed more answers - they reached out to a behavioural optometrist and was referred to IVT for treatment. After 21 session...s, Chase is achieving phenomenal results. She came running in to tell me that she had finished this 349 page book in 12 hrs! We both nearly cried with happiness, as she had previously refused to read as it caused her such discomfort. I am so proud of this incredible girls efforts and commitment. It truly has been my absolute pleasure to have worked with her and her family.

15.01.2022 WHAT CAN YOU SEE? What do you see when looking at this picture? - this is an oldie but a goodie and one of my absolute favourite examples of how our vision works and how incredible our brain is! . .... This is the way the world starts out for us. We have no idea what it is, then somebody labels it. Once labeled, we are no longer able to see the image in any other way. . Thats the way we learn about most things; who we are, what we can do and what the world consists of - Ellen Langer (Harvard Psychology Professor) . . . #visiontherapy #eyes #braintraining #visualperception #illawarra #wollongong #oakflats #albionpark #trickpic #whatdoyousee #mindblown #cleverbrain #illawarravisiontherapy

03.01.2022 PATIENT PROGRESS PT2 . Meet Ben - this superstar was referred to me to help improve his visual processing which was causing difficulties at school.

He has shown such hard work and dedication, and it has not gone unnoticed! School, home, in therapy and just in himself, Ben is just showing outstanding improvement!
