It Could Be Your Eyes
Are you a parent who has been searching for answers to why your child is struggling academically? Have you been told that your child needs strabismus surgery or patching, and it just doesn’t feel right to you? Are you trying to set your kiddo with sensory needs up for success and feeling lost in the process? Have you suffered a brain injury or concussion and refuse to accept that these current limitations are your permanent “new normal”? My name is Dr. Juanita Collier and I am a Behavioral Optometrist with a private practice specializing in Vision Therapy, Rehabilitation, and Development. Through diving deep with my team, parents, patients, and professionals, we will uncover that vision may be the underlying cause of real life challenges in academics, work, sports, and daily life. While we often think 20/20 eyesight is perfect vision, vision actually takes place in the brain. And if there is any disconnect, any slight lack of coordination between the brain and the eyes, how you see what’s in front of you can be remarkably different than what’s actually there. Through this podcast, you will discover, that the challenges that you are facing may actually be stemming from a difficulty with how you’re seeing…It Could Be Your Eyes.

How to Unlock Your Potential by Changing the way you See!
“We wanted our patients to feel like nothing was wrong with them. From day one we didn’t call them patients, they were members. Over the next 10 years, I see vision therapy being the household name and Built to Read being what people know.”
Today we’re celebrating our 10th anniversary, and as part of it, we are reflecting on all that has happened throughout this time, and how our vision of what vision therapy could be has evolved over time.
We discuss how we came up with the idea for our unique approach to vision therapy, centered around empowering members to transform their own perception of the world and how they interact with it.
We also talk about the importance of educating parents on the foundational skills necessary for reading, which we believe has been a key component of our success.
It's interesting how our perspective has shifted over time, from feeling like we had to be the ones to make all the changes in the world, to empowering others to facilitate change themselves with the tools to become self-sufficient and confident.
