If visual acuity is good and a child can read, but there’s an acquired right homonymous hemianopsia, what are some strategies you have seen work? The child occasionally skips letters and misses the last letter in a word. The occupational therapist has done some research and is working on “scanning” skills. Thoughs or suggestions? Thank you.

Giving the child a highlighted reader marker and teaching them to track left to right and look for the blank space at the edges of the page as a cue of where to start and stop. *Amy Van der Veer* *18 Goshawk Drive* *Cody, Wy* *82414* *307-899-6517 cell* *"When I approach a child, he inspires in me two sentiments: tenderness for what he is and respect for who he shall become."
