Hi bk1! My link I posted above doesn't go where I wanted it to go!!! Sorry! Here is one I hope works http://www.covd.org/ .A FCOVD is a Fellow of College of Optometrists in Vision Development(FCOVD). They do very specialized testing and therapy for different visual problems. You should check out this site to see if it sounds like it is something that could help your child. They have a doctor finder and you type in your zip code and it finds ones in your area. In a 100 mile area around me there are only about 10 so there aren't lots of them out there. Luckily there is one about 30 minutes from where I live so I am able to take my child for therapy once a week and he does therapy on the computer for 20 minutes every other day. It has been wonderful and I am seeing results with him already!

Hope this helps! :-)

Your reply was faster than a speeding bullet! Thanks!

The link worked. There are two within 2 miles in my very dense urban neighborhood. Now if they take my insurance....

Also, with your child's varied scores, it might be worth making a pitch to evaluate using the GAI (Gifted Ability Index, I think) which is measured using just VCI and PR. See http://www.gifteddevelopment.com/PDF_files/NewWISC.pdf

Wow, 2 within 2 miles!!! That is fantastic! Hopefully they will take your insurance. I have no vision insurance and my medical won't cover it, so I am paying for it all. But it is worth it as I can see it helping him already and he's only been doing it for 6 weeks.

Thanks for the link too - he comes up with a 129!! So close, yet so still so far...... LOL! Actually I am good with the whole situation as it stands. I'll just continue doing what I am doing as far as doing enrichment type activities and I don't think he'll miss out on too much. (I hope anyway!!) :-)
