Did you know that symptoms that look like dyslexia can actually be a vision problem? Here are 3 vision problems that frequently mimic dyslexia: 1. Laterality/Directionality Problem – Many young children haven’t yet developed directionality skills. That’s why you might see a child holding their hands in an “L” shape to determine their left hand from their right. 2. Visual Fatigue – A child whose eyes grow fatigued will likely read at a considerably slower pace. 3. Poor Control of Eye Movements – Some people view extremely choppy reading as a symptom of dyslexia. However, functional vision problems are often at the root of some of these same symptoms.
