Last week we had a retirement party for our sweet vision therapist Kim! Kim has been a wealth of knowledge, organization, & support for our vision therapy team. Helping many children & adults while here, we are going to miss having Kim here. We celebrated her last day going out to lunch as a team & shared many laughs!

2. What is your favorite part about working for VCC? My amazing coworkers, (my vcc family).
3. What is something interesting you’ve learned about eyes?

It’s fascinating how much individuality is contained in such a small part of the body.

Vision Therapy Success ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Before vision therapy, our son Aiden was frustrated with homework and hated reading. Aiden has improved so much with vision therapy. Aiden completes most homework at school and reading longer books on his own. He has been on honor roll all school year and is looking forward to starting high school in the fall. Aiden would not have had as much success without Dr. Fitch making the initial diagnoses, Dr. Cundiff for creating the plan for Aiden, and Sydney working with Him every week.”
-Stephanie E (mom)

Vision Therapy Success: Way to go! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“When we first came to VCC, Eli was having significant trouble in school. In patience with reading and math. His handwriting was constantly messy and large. He would also get frequent motion sickness and feel nauseous often spending time on a screen. With vision therapy we have seen such an improvement in Eli’s performance at school. While he still has difficult in some of the subjects, he has shown an appreciation in his reading fluency and his ability to retain and build on those facts. His handwriting is much straighter, and he rarely experiences motion sickness and dizziness from screens. Everyone at VCC has been wonderful!”
-Elijah's mom
