VT for Learning Related Visual Problems adds to the core VT for Visual Dysfunctions (VT I) course all the necessary testing and therapy activities to successfully diagnose and treat patients with learning related visual problems as well as patients with developmental difficulties. Many of the patients for whom this curriculum is recommended have been labeled dyslexics or "LD/ADD" (learning disability/attention deficit disorder).
