Ansley had her first vision therapy this week with the Parent Infant Program with the Fl School for Deaf & Blind. We are blessed with the sweetest therapist. She just adores Ansley. This first few weeks are trying to establish a "baseline" on Ansley's vision. We know she seeks lights so thinking she sees lights. She doesn't track or reach/bat for toys as she can't see them. Our goals for vision therapy are to get her to try and focus, see shadows, etc. Of course ULTIMATE goal is for her to see everything! But that's up to God.
Our therapist played with Ansley on the floor with different textured and light up/musical toys. Ansley keeps her eyes closed a lot so we are trying to give her something interesting (sounds/textures) so she will open her eyes. The more
She uses them *hopefully* the stronger she will get. :) our therapist is geting us alight box and were working on building a black box.
We will have therapy every week and work on new things. Will keep you posted! Thanks for the prayers and concerns!!!
