For a child struggling with a learning disorder, the world can seem like a very unfriendly place. As a parent, you’re doing everything possible to make things better, but what if nothing seems to help? It could be that a learning disorder isn’t really the problem—it’s a symptom. The ability to read and learn can be seriously impeded by hidden, vision-related issues. Excel Institute is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of these vision problems.

We provide a noninvasive, drug-free program of care, customized for children and adults with autism, ADD/ADHD, dyslexia and other learning disabilities, and for those suffering from traumatic brain injury (TBI). Through vision therapy, or VT, our expert team helps patients gain the visual-system competency they need to make a lasting difference in their lives.
