Tune in to the transformational story of Atlas as told by his parents Seth and Margaret Conger. Atlas came to visit us at MyVisionFirst for a week long vision intensive and his results were truly extraordinary. Before the intensive Atlas was experiencing regular meltdowns and emotional outbursts, he struggled to perform at his best in school, sports and life. After just one week of focusing on fixing his vision problems Atlas has gained control of his emotions beyond what his parents could have hoped for, he’s outperforming his peers in academics and he’s now the lead goal scorer on his soccer team. All because he can finally “see” properly and his brain and eyes are no longer working against each other!
Atlas’s story is truly incredible and showcases just some of what is possible when you address functional vision problems. Check out the full interview at https://myvisionfirst.com/atlas-success-story-vision-intensive/

Initial changes during vision therapy 0:00
We did an intensive training across the time of a week with Atlas and we started noticing some pretty distinct changes within just a few days of vision therapy. And those were a significant decrease in the length of time or even the frequency of meltdowns. We saw immediately more attention So we could, prior to this, we would say Atlas's name four or five times with no recognition and no interaction.
Improved attention and patience 0:31
And, you know, even while we were during training, I would his name once and he would just perk up and look up. His patience has changed dramatically. Then we saw an ongoing series of changes with him. that are around his overall behavior, his temperament, and then also his, you know, scholastic, mathematic abilities actually at school. So interestingly enough, we have some test results from before and after doing vision therapy where he was at or below the benchmark for his age group.
Academic gains after therapy 0:58
And then within months of doing vision therapy, far exceeded test results of his other peers. In fact, he's now in the 99th percentile for mathematics for his age group and the 90th, percentiles for reading for this age, which he was in, the 40th per centile or below. in both those categories prior to vision therapy. And we've lived in the same house, we eat the the food, have the friend groups. There's really no other possible dynamics that could have changed this except for the intensive training that we did with Dr.
Apapa.
