Vision Therapy Transformed Our Son's Life: Atlas' Story
From the 40th percentile to the 99th percentile in mathematics and reading in just a few short months
Vision therapy transformed Atlas’s life in a profound and impactful way. Before seeing Dr. Appelbaum, Atlas’s behavior was unpredictable and challenging for his parents, Seth and Margaret Conger, to navigate. Atlas experienced explosive meltdowns multiple times a day, lasting up to an hour and a half. He exhibited behaviors such as licking or touching objects inappropriately, leaving his parents feeling like they were walking on eggshells. It was heartbreaking for them to see their son in such distress, and they were at a loss for how to help and support him.
