Dr. Robert Fox, OD, FCOVD, will be presenting "THE HOMEWORK WARS” Workshop at the Saratoga Springs Public Library on October 18th, 2018 at 6:30 PM.
Summer vacation is a huge relief for parents with a nightly homework battle. Unfortunately, the escape is short-lived. The “Homework Wars” will likely resume when school starts and the material becomes more demanding.
Did your child fall behind as the school year progressed? Perhaps his or her grades did not reflect the intelligence you know is there. Do you feel that despite all your attempts to help, something is interfering with your child's learning? If any of the symptoms below sound like your child, please join us at this informative workshop. If vision is the problem, there is help and you are not alone. 1 in 4 children have a specific vision problem which interferes with learning.
