Is your child not reaching  his full learning potential at school? Has your child been diagnosed as dyslexic, dyspraxic, or to have attention deficit disorder? Has he had a sight test  where they assured you that his vision is perfect? Perfect vision does not mean that the eyes work together well as a team . A full assessment of your child's eyes  is needed .

Rena will assess your child's eyes and visual abilities and recommend a course of action to be taken. This may include vision training and eye exercises to improve vision, or syntonic photo therapy. Rena will then take your child through the vision-training course; some of the activities will be home based and some will be practice based
