Vision Therapy for Michelangelo

Donation protected
Michelangelo is a 11 year old boy who has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Expressive Language  Disorder and Sensory Processing Disorder. Sometime last year, we discovered why he becomes teary eyed when trying to read, squints his eyes and avoids looking directly at an objects or a person. Unfortunately, he has Convergence Insufficiency, which is a weakness in the eye muscles needed to be able to focus on essential for reading, playing sports, and social interactions. I have added the link below to explain this disorder which also impacts his ability to play with others. He is recommended to do a Neuro-Visual Therapeutic program which is expensive considering that his dad and I have to use other therapies and a private school/homeschooling program to educate my son in an alternative learning environment. Please help us fund this treatment that is desperately needed and be a part of making a difference in Michelangelo's life. I want to start this summer or ASAP, having set some funds aside, he also needs materials for Math and Visualization and return to speech therapy. I am torn having to choose when he needs all of the therapies.  This would mean so much to us as his parents and my son for your support.

I learned there is a fee to using this platform. I also accept other methods if you prefer. Contact me at [email redacted].
