Therapists

Vision Therapists recommended by our PAC members

Many of our members have not rely exclusively on public school of therapy for their children. They have got therapy from private diagnosticians.

Need a vision therapist?

While each of the following professionals comes recommended by at least three SPED PAC members, we cannot in any way guarantee the result. It is important to check their references, review their credentials, and interview them to understand whether their skills and approach are a good fit for your child.
