Spelling can be especially challenging for some children—often because they struggle to recognize when a word looks incorrect. When a word is misspelled, it may not trigger their visual memory, making it harder to identify or correct. Strong visual processing skills help the brain remember how words look, which is a key part of becoming a confident speller.

At our office, we strengthen the visual skills essential for spelling success. Our vision therapy programs can include a targeted set of spelling activities designed to help children master spelling through fun, engaging, and goal-oriented sessions. If your child struggles with spelling, we can tailor their vision therapy to focus on the specific skills they need to improve.

Call us today at 616.848.7548 or visit our website to learn how vision therapy can support your child’s growth and confidence in spelling!

Helping your child develop a love for reading starts at home!

Raising a lifelong reader takes more than just books—it takes intention. Here are six practical ways to nurture a love of reading in
your child:

1.) Offer variety – Fill your home with diverse reading materials like books, magazines, comics, and even kid-friendly cookbooks.

2.) Model reading – Let your child see you reading for enjoyment.

3.) Read together – Shared reading builds connection and develops strong reading habits, no matter their age.

4.) Create inviting reading spaces – A cozy book nook can turn reading into a special experience.

5.) Limit screen time – Enable your child to develop creativity and imagination rather than a screen doing it for them.

6.) Keep books accessible – Store them in the car or bag for easy access during errands, travel, waiting rooms, oil changes, restaurants, doctor visits, etc. Skip the tablet, choose a book!

Reading should feel like an adventure—not an assignment!

If your child enjoys being read to yet avoids reading on their own, becomes easily frustrated, or struggles to stay focused while reading on their own, the challenge may lie in their visual skills—not their motivation.

Vision therapy can help! By strengthening skills like eye tracking, focus, and coordination, vision therapy can make reading easier, more comfortable, and genuinely more enjoyable!

Call our office at 616-848-7548 or visit our website to learn how vision therapy can support your child’s reading journey—and help them head into the school year with confidence!

Many families use the summer to try and catch up in school and reading. It is so hard to learn how to read, and it can be a year-round process for those who are behind and never seem to catch up.

Some students will always have trouble with reading because of their vision. 25% of students have learning-related vision problems, meaning they have under-developed skills with their eyes that are necessary for reading and learning. Most of them don’t need glasses and can pass a vision screening!

Summer is the perfect time to find out if vision is part of the learning problem, and if so then vision therapy can be the solution.

With school out, kids have fewer daily demands, making it easier to focus on building the visual skills they need to thrive. Without the added pressure of homework, tests, and busy schedules, families can commit to consistent vision therapy and practice at home, leading to faster, more noticeable progress. Stronger visual skills can mean more confidence, less frustration, and improved ability when it comes to reading and learning in school this fall.

If you are eager to use this summer to set your children up for success, call our office at 616.848.7548 to schedule a complimentary phone consultation!

Did you know vision therapy can be just as effective—and even more fun—when done outside? Try hanging your Marsden ball from a tree to work on tracking, eye-hand coordination, and visual attention. The movement of the ball in the breeze adds an extra challenge, keeping kids engaged while strengthening visual skills. Plus, the fresh air and sunshine make it a win for the whole family!

If you are looking for more ideas on how to make vision therapy more effective over the summer, give our office a call at 616.848.7548 and we would love to brainstorm some ideas with you!

Did you know that certain games can actually help strengthen your child’s vision skills—especially the same ones we target in vision therapy? Over the summer, when school is out and routines shift, keeping those visual processing and coordination skills active is so important.

Games that involve tracking, focusing, eye-hand coordination, and visual memory can support reading, attention, and learning—and the best part? Your child will just think they’re having fun!

These simple activities (all found on Amazon) help build stronger visual foundations for the classroom and beyond. Keep the progress going all summer long with purposeful play!

During the first year of life, a baby’s visual system undergoes rapid development, forming the foundation for critical skills like movement, learning, and social interaction.

✅By 3 months, infants should start tracking moving objects and responding to visual cues.

✅By 6 months, their depth perception begins to develop. Babies should start reaching for objects and exploring their surroundings. They also start to look farther which is right on time when they are ready to crawl.

✅By 9 months, coordination between eyes and hands improves, allowing babies to follow movement more smoothly and interact with the world around them.

✅By 12 months, most infants can recognize people and objects from a distance, show interest in pictures, and use their vision to guide walking. They also become more skilled in processing and understanding their surroundings.

Monitoring these visual milestones is essential—early detection of delays or difficulties can help address potential vision problems before they interfere with a child’s development. If a baby seems to struggle with eye contact, tracking, or recognizing familiar faces, it may be time for a comprehensive pediatric eye exam or a developmental vision screening.

The American Optometric Association recommends scheduling an infant’s first eye exam between six and twelve months of age, immediately after the eye undergoes rapid and profound changes and is therefore most vulnerable to interference with healthy development. EagleEye is a proud supporter of the InfantSEE® program, where your baby can get a free eye exam prior to turning 1 year old.

Our team had the opportunity this Wednesday to step away from the office and into the heart of our community we love so much. We started the afternoon at Laketown Beach, clearing sand from the stairs and collecting trash to help keep our shoreline clean and safe. Then we headed to the beautiful Felt Mansion, where we spent the afternoon pulling weeds and painting to help prepare the grounds for a busy summer season.

Giving back to the place we call home is just one small way we can say thank you. At EagleEye, we’re proud to serve a community that gives us so much to care about—both inside and outside the office! Thank you to the West Michigan Chamber of Commerce for organizing this opportunity!

As a parent, it’s hard to watch your child struggle—especially when they’re doing their best. If your school age child has a hard time focusing, avoids reading, or gets easily frustrated with homework, it might not just be ADHD. Many signs of attention issues—inability to look at the page for long, losing their place, or tiring quickly—can actually stem from underlying vision problems.

Research shows that children with ADHD are up to 3 times more likely to have vision challenges that affect learning. While Vision therapy doesn’t treat ADHD directly, it can make a big difference by improving eye coordination, focus, and visual processing—skills that are essential for success in reading ability, comprehension and enjoyment!

If your child struggles with attention or reading, a functional vision exam may uncover a piece of the puzzle that’s been missing. Call our office at 616.848.7548 or visit our website at eagleeyevisiontherapy.com to learn more about vision and ADHD.

Visual perception is the brain’s ability to interpret and make sense of what the eyes see. It’s not just about having clear eyesight but also about how well the brain processes and understands visual information. Strong visual perception is essential for reading, writing, coordination, and everyday tasks.

Some benefits of improving visual perception include:

✅ Better Reading Skills – Improved word recognition, able to rapidly detect differences in similar words, Visualize the story while reading

✅ Spatial Organization on the Page – Keep place on a busy page, search and find keywords, write straight across, line up math columns

✅ Stronger Memory & Attention – Visual memory enhances ability to retain seen images, like events, spelling words, rules, and where you left something

✅ Improved Sports Performance – Process and react faster, anticipate upcoming opportunities, match timing with movement/actions

✅ Vision Therapy can develop visual perception skills for our patients to have “visual intelligence”, where they become experts at processing, interpreting, retaining, and acting upon their visual worlds.

If you’ve noticed your bright child struggles to process words on the page, vision could be an issue at play, and can be improved with the right treatment. Call 616.848.7548 today to learn more or schedule an evaluation.
