It is not uncommon for many children and adults to be diagnosed with Dyslexia, ADD or ADHD because vision related learning problems can appear to be or aggravate these conditions.

A child or adult that has difficulty with eye teaming, tracking and visual perception problems that cause words to move or jump on the page or appear to be in different directions can be labeled dyslexic. Once these issues are corrected through The Vision Improvement Program (VIP), most of the cases that were considered dyslexia, can now be attributed to some sort of visual processing problem. Poor concentration, restlessness and frustration in the classroom are all too often, unnecessarily labeled ADD/ADHD. Children who have to spend an excessive amount of energy to make sense of what it is they are trying to read, tend to lose interest in the task at hand. As a result, they can be inattentive and disruptive.

A comprehensive developmental vision exam is the only way to determine if the symptoms are indeed a vision related learning problem mimicking ADD/ADHD or Dyslexia.
