How To Get Started With Vision Therapy
A full eye health examination within the last 12 months is required before we can begin the process.
Our Sensory Motor Evaluation and Reading Assessment is a 1 to 2 hour series of tests designed to evaluate whether difficulties in school stem from vision and/or language processing issues.
You can either fill out our history form online before your visit or here in our office during your visit. Please bring any prior vision examination records and school performance testing if available.
The Sensory Motor Evaluation includes a one-hour consultation generally done within the same week. At the consultation, you will receive a report with diagnosis codes, treatment plan, and recommendations for the classroom. In order to ensure the best care possible, we would like to coordinate with all professionals and educators that may be working with our patients. Prior to speaking with anyone about your child, we need written authorization for our records.
Patients typically come to the office once or twice weekly for 50 minutes each visit. In addition, homework is given as reinforcement of what is learned during the office therapy sessions. Commitment to the therapy program and maintaining a schedule of weekly visits, is important to the success of the program.
Your child will be re-evaluated by Dr. Hock every 10 sessions through Evergreen Vision Clinic, P.C. This progress evaluation is important in monitoring the progress and determining graduation from Vision Therapy. There are no charges for these evaluations as they are considered part of your vision therapy program.
