I work volunteer at charter school in Davidson, NC (Community School of Davidson. I am trying to obtain funding for vision therapy for underprivileged children who have been diagnosed needing this service. I am in the process of contacting the local Lions Club. Do you know of any other agency that would be of assistance. Thanks

This is an important question and the answer will vary from state to state. But, from our experience, the Lions are an excellent place to begin. Our experience has found that while most local Clubs do not have a budget sizable to support a complete vision therapy treatment plan, there are often Lions Foundations in each state that serve to fund costly medical procedures for those who have a financial hardship or are under insured. Each local Lions Club will usually know of a representative from the State Foundation within the respective state for making contact. Or you can contact Lions International http://lionsclubs.org/EN/our-work/sight-programs/assistance-requests.php

How do I get to the power point presentation that Dr. Press provided during his recent seminar which I attended? I did not copy the addresss properly.

I am helping to start the incorporation of vision therapy into an optometry practice. What are the limitations or requirements to developing/putting together training manuals for testing and vision therapy procedures for a new vision therapy department?
