We have tried everything - every reading method out there. Seen a neurologist etc.
We tried prism glasses that did nothing.
Someone mentioned a doctor in monsey who prescribes colored glasses? Anyone know information?
(He sometimes makes a bit of progress with reading, reading veeeery slow but then regresses again. He is brilliant otherwise and is on par with his class and can take oral test and pass with flying colors. He also has some coordination issues and cannot ride a bike)

Which methods have you tried and what do you think is impeding his reading?

Does he have a visual processing issue?

Have you gotten him evaluated for vision therapy?

In the meantime if anyone has the colored glasses information would really appreciate it

Did he crawl?
Lack of coordination and crawling is linked to reading issues because the eyes don't track. I would probably try really good OT for this as the problem may be mechanical (neurological really)

Or a vision therapist. Someone to work on visual coordination.

Always good to give a high quality omega 3 supplement when your spending money on therapy. Can help progress faster.
