Guest Speaker:  Amy Thomas O.D.

Developmental Optometrist

Did you see the NY Times Science section article on vision training for college & pro athletes?  Well, such training is available here in Tucson.  We will have one of the two practitioners speaking to our group. 

Dr. Amy Thomas will speak on learning-related vision issues that can cause problems in reading, writing & coordination.  These problems can affect balance, sport performance, driving and cause motion sickness.

CHADD Family Info & Support Meeting

Thursday, June 12, 7- 8:30 p.m.

St. Cyril’s Church at Pima & Swan

**********************

Topic:   Dr. Thomas will talk about how vision problems are evaluated; why standard eye-testing rarely identifies these problems; and how treatment for these problems can relate to ADHD, dyslexia, other reading, writing & coordination problems.  She will also have us do hands-on activities that show us exactly how kids & adults struggle with these problems.  Dr. Thomas is a local developmental optometrist with Cimarron Family Vision Center.

We will be meeting in Dougherty Hall, a building on the south side of the parking lot.  You get to the parking lot by entering off of Swan, just north of the intersection of Swan & Pima.  I will have signs.
