Meghan: I seem to have become a poster child (wait...make that the mother of a poster child) for vision therapy.

According to our vision therapist something like 65% of the connections in your brain relate to vision. Many people have undetected vision issues following head injury. My daughter just completed the 4th of 12 visits so its a bit too soon to tell if it will provide anything you might consider to be an "effective treatment". We are so very hopeful.

I can verify, however, that in hindsight (no pun intended) it is apparent that her issues since about the sixth month seem to have been very much tied in with her vision. You can research this through the NORA website. This is more complex than a 20/20 eye chart. This has to do with the "ambient vision system", i.e. how you perceive mid-line, peripheral vision, using the two eyes together, etc. Problems with the "ambient vision system" can result in panic attacks, vertigo, headaches, nausea, etc.

We have also dabbled in reflexology (sort of like a foot rub but more complex) and accupressure...honestly those two seem to work better than any kind of medication.

Good luck on your project!
