Posted By: Lou Your child is ADD...Your Child is ADHD and needs medicines...Your child has sensory intergration problems...your child this your child that.... After three years going from pillar to post and spending a lot of money I ended up at a peadiatric optomotrist - she described my daughter to a T - all the challenges with doing homework, not sitting stil and being all over the place. It came out that her eyes are the problem. Her eyes do not move together as a unit - the one eye is slower then the other eye and this influences her perceptual processes as the information she gathers through her eyes is unstable and inacurate. To all you moms - do have your childs eyes tested by a optometrist who can diagnose any eye muscle instabilities.

Thanks so much for sharing this vital piece of information, Lou. To add to this I would like to stress that ADD and ADHD should only be diagnosed by a paediatric neurologist.
