Daughter’s Reading and Writing problems September 2009 |
My daughter had reading and writing problems in school. For a second grader she had a kindergarten reading level and hand writing level. She reversed many letters and numbers. She was getting frustrated and lashing out after school because she hadn’t been able to finish it. We went to tutoring for 6 months with no change. The school teacher even told us that maybe she was just “slow.” I could tell from her verbal usage that she did understand a lot more than she could read and write. While fighting with her to read one day I realized that she was sounding out only the first letters of a word and the last. She was not seeing the middle part of word or sentence. We went to an optometrist that tested the tracking and twinning of her eyes. Red flags were raised and we were recommended to do vision therapy. It would take me three to four weeks to get into a specialist under my insurance plan so we decided to try Master Sheng-Li Wang as we had fantastic experiences with him before.
Master Sheng-Li Wang was great with her. She felt comfortable and at ease with him immediately. The treatment was painless and did not involve any needles so she was happy. On the way home after one treatment, my daughter started reading road signs to me. Something she had never done before.
After 2 weeks we noticed significant improvement in her attitude at school and her ability to read. Homework wasn’t a fight and she could complete a two sided page in 10 minutes without reading it to her. The handwriting was still not up to par, but she could start to formulate what she wanted to write and put down complex sentences. After a couple of months she was on the challenge spelling list not the basic spelling list and was very proud of herself. She was getting all of her spelling words correct. She loves reading now and is improving every day. She tested at 92% comprehension level reading all by herself and is up to grade level in reading. The teacher and reading specialist are amazed at how well she is progressing.

Son's Dyslexia and Vision problems |
Three years ago, our then six year old son was diagnosed with both dyslexia and vision problems. He was having difficulties identifying letters and numbers and it wasn't uncommon to see him squinting while reading. Test scores showed that he was reading well below grade level. In addition to vision therapy, Sheng Li Wang began treating his eyes and the brain connections in support of these functions. Over time his reading and math have steadily improved. We were also able to discontinue vision therapy over a year ago. We were happy to recently receive news that he is now reading at grade level, an achievement that we wondered if was possible. As the treatments continue we look forward to see our son continue to grow and improve in his abilities. We are extremely grateful for Sheng Li Wang's abilities and help he has given our son.
