What Is It Like to Do Vision Therapy With Kids?

If your child is struggling with reading, bumping into things, or just feeling frustrated—you’re not alone. And they don’t have to stay stuck.

In this heartwarming episode, we sit down with Coach Jamelia Joseph a.k.a Coach Gem, one of our trusted vision therapists, to talk about what it’s really like working with kids in vision therapy. We share what makes kids thrive in the therapy process, how families can stay consistent and supportive at home, and the magic that happens when a child finally sees what they’ve been missing—literally and figuratively.

Whether your child is soccer-obsessed, curious about how their body works, or struggling with attention and coordination, this episode is packed with real talk and uplifting stories about how small wins lead to big change.

From red-green glasses and Mario-themed exercises to finding the goal that really matters to your child, we highlight what it takes to keep kids engaged and on track. 

If you’re in the thick of therapy or considering it for your child, this episode will reassure and inspire you.
