About the author

A pioneer in vision therapy and developmental optometry, for more than 30 years Dr. Hellerstein, has helped thousands of children and adults improve their vision and transform their lives — at home, in the classroom, and most recently on the playing field. Her breakthrough methods unlock barriers to learning and “rewire” around brain injuries, and perceptual or processing deficits. But you don’t have to have a vision problem to benefit: her strategies may be the missing magic if you’re an athlete trying to nail a tricky shot or stay cool in competition. If it’s a skill you can visualize, Dr. Hellerstein can help train your eyes — and mind’s eye — on success.

Dr. Hellerstein has extensive professional publications to her credit, but witnessing the joy of her patients overcoming a learning barrier or meeting a sports goal put her on a mission: to deliver her methods into a form that could reach a wide audience of parents and educators, to help more kids and more athletes. Her award-winning series, SEE IT. SAY IT. DO IT!®, is the happy result.

It had some good ideas and activities, but it became a victim of its purpose. I got overwhelmed with so many suggestions that I didn't know where to begin. Besides, I felt it needed to give more advice for parents of teens as they are often more vocal and protest trying such things than younger children and adults. I would've liked to see more activities for vision therapy.
