Changes in achievement scores as a result of a joint optometry and education intervention program.

This study tested the effect of a visually directed intervention program on changes in standardized test results of intelligence quotient and achievement during kindergarten. Two groups of 19 kindergarten children from equivalent schools were matched for intelligence quotient, age, and sex. Fall and Spring measurements were made in the following areas: intelligence quotient, academic achievement tests, and paper and pencil perceptual tests. A visually based intervention program involving both optometry and education was provided for the experimental group. Kindergarten children in the experimental group who received the visually directed optometry and education intervention program showed significant differences in the rate of change in four of the eight tested areas when matched to the control group.

Optometry's direction versus public needs.

This paper presents some parallels between the issues relating to our young population's difficulty in vision performance facing optometry in 1976 and medical eye care in the late 1800's. Three specific elements are identified and discussed: namely, (1) difference in practice of optometry and our organizational efforts; (2) the lack of agreed-upon clinical systems; and (3) the lack of availability of care. Suggestion for consideration are presented.

Optometric care for a child manifesting qualities of autism.

S.G. still manifests many of the behavior characteristics of an autistic child. Optometric vision care was significant in that it did allow S.G. to develop better visual contact, longer periods of meaningful attentiveness, and to establish some rudimentary relationships with situations and people. His visual contact is still quite limited to things and space at relatively close distances. Binocular functioning has markedly improved.
