How Can I Better Advocate For My Child? with guest Michele Hillman

It Could Be Your Eyes

It can be scary when the school system says "it's totally fine" but YOU as a parent know it's the complete opposite.
In this episode we welcome Michele Hillman, mother of two, global public speaker and advocate for Vision Therapy & Autism. She was compelled to co-create the Facebook group Vision Therapy Parents Unite due to her son's multiple misdiagnosis and the great support she found in vision therapy to aid his functioning.
Michele's advocacy work has made a significant impact on the lives of many parents and children. Her Facebook group serves as a resource for parents seeking information and support for their children's vision issues and connects them with vision therapy doctors in their area.

In this episode you’ll hear about:
(04:20) Michele's journey with vision issues and her son's strabismus surgery.
(09:43) Finding help and advocacy for child's education.
(18:10) How Michele's son's double vision was discovered.
(22:00) Stepping outside of the mainstream healthcare system to find more functional avenues for treatment.
(26:47) How vision impacts various body systems including speech development.
(35:50) "Vision Therapy Parents Unite" Facebook Group.
