Vision Therapy, Autism & Developmental Delays
Vision Therapy in Children with Autism & Developmental Delays
At Vision Development of WNY, we understand the unique challenges faced by children with developmental delays, including those diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), cerebral palsy, or pervasive developmental disorder (PDD). For many of these children, developmental delays can also affect visual abilities—a critical aspect affecting their overall growth and learning capacity.
Visual Challenges in Developmental Delays
Children with developmental delays may experience difficulties with essential visual functions, such as tracking moving objects, focusing on tasks, or interpreting visual information—skills necessary for successful learning and daily activities. Because vision is integral to how we interact with the world, addressing these challenges is vital.
Our Specialized Vision Therapy Services
Vision Development of WNY offers specialized services to enhance the visual abilities of children with developmental delays. Our doctors and therapists use therapeutic modalities to make therapy enjoyable and effective. Our unique, individualized approach enhances movement, balance, auditory processing, and cognitive skills.
Patients see remarkable improvements in vision, academics, and coordination post-treatment, leading to increased confidence and productivity. This translates into improved responses during other forms of rehabilitative services and result in a notable increase in learning capabilities and the performance of everyday tasks.
A Collaborative Approach to Care
We believe in a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach to care. Working hand-in-hand with parents or ancillary professionals creates a supportive network that encircles the child with the care and attention needed to thrive.
