Most parents are willing to try a variety of interventions to help resolve their child’s academic struggles. In many cases, parents may spend thousands of dollars by the time that they find out that a vision problem is contributing to the child’s learning difficulties.

Those parents that find vision problems early in their search position their child for success sooner.

Dr. Janna Iyer

When a student struggles with reading and learning, ruling out a vision problem should be the FIRST step. Often these problems will be related to an eye-coordination problem which means that your child may pass a vision screening at school or the pediatrician’s office and have 20/20 vision. In most cases, this screening does not assess the other 16+ visual skills required for learning and reading.

The child is told she has perfect vision, but she does not know that everyone does not see like her:

Furthermore, most of the symptoms that assist in diagnosing attention-deficit disorder are the same symptoms that could signify a vision problem that interferes with learning. Once a child is suspected to have ADD, a series of events can follow including expensive psychological tests and drug treatment for years, if not for life. However, if a developmental vision evaluation is done first, then the child has a chance at permanently fixing some if not all of the contributing factors to ADD. When a vision problem exists, treatment may involve glasses, optometric vision therapy, or both. Vision therapy treats vision problems that interfere with learning to read and reading to learn. Once the vision problems are treated successfully, tutoring and other special services can become more effective.

If you notice that your child is having problems with reading in school, it is important to have a developmental vision evaluation to determine if vision problems are contributing to your child’s difficulties.

The 5 most common signs that a vision problem may be interfering with your student’s ability to read and learn are: • • • • •

Skips and re-reads lines of text Poor reading comprehension Homework takes longer than it should Reverse letters like “b” and “d” when reading Short attention span with reading and schoolwork

Why you should enroll your child in a martial arts program.

Universal Benefits of Martial Arts

Improved physical fitness: Martial arts is a great workout! It is a total body workout.

Your stamina, muscle tone, flexibility, balance and strength will improve.

Enhanced self-esteem: By learning these skills & improving your physical condition, you become more comfortable in all situations — whether you’re in danger or simply doing a task beyond your comfort zone. Kids have a new sense of self confidence, making them virtually “bully proof.”

Increased focus and concentration: From the very first day of class, students are challenged to think as much as they act. Learning the forms and movements reinforces working memory. That’s why the Mayo Clinic specifically counts the marital arts of karate and taekwondo among the effective therapies for ADD & ADHD. Increased social skills: Martial arts strongly emphasize self discipline & self control as a core component of its teachings. Self leadership and the ability to deal with others in a mature way is the result.

Stress relief: Kicking, punching & yelling (Kihap) are a great release, no matter what your age.

Respect for values: Honesty, courtesy, integrity, perseverance & excellence are some curriculum areas of focus. These qualities help both children & adults become great leaders.

Traits Martial Arts Develops in a Child: Self-esteem Focus Concentration Self discipline Physical fitness Self confidence Positive attitude Leadership Respect Patience Goal setting Manners Strong work ethic

Life Lessons Developed Through Martial Arts: Avoiding conflicts Dealing with bullies Mental self defense Proper respect for adults Stranger awareness Respect for self and others Saying no to drugs & peer pressure
