We often feature success stories that have taken place here at The Vision Therapy Center.  However, these types of stories are happening every day, all over the world.  We are fortunate enough to have a guest post from Jenny Johnston, a mom who lives in Chico, California with her daughter Alli (that’s her in the photo on the right, with her sister Jill.)  Jenny is so passionate about vision therapy that she took the time to write this amazing post.  Please read, and share with your friends and family.
