Success Stories

Last year Jayda protested and struggled with the motivation to try new things. Working with Barbara is so fun for her. I notice an increase in stamina, less protesting and a willingness to try new things, not just in vision therapy, but with homework and other activities. Jayda has never said she didn’t want to go work with Barbara. She loves learning with her. I highly recommend Barbara Yong….Thank you Barbara! - Jen

Vanessa’s tracking while reading has gotten a lot better. She is more comfortable with reading and is starting to show enjoyment in reading books and will sometimes choose to read without being told to. With the improvement with tracking, her fluency and her words per minute have and are getting faster. - Emily

Dear Barbara,

Thank you so very much for all your help in vision tutoring with Daniel. We were sad to end our weekly times with you as Daniel always felt encouraged by you and your exercises with him. His desire for reading has improved greatly and he no longer says that he "hates reading" He is comprehending the passages much better and able to stay focused for much longer. He also shared with me that his coordination in sports is much better and feels as though he is able to catch and hit the balls in baseball greater than ever before and enjoys playing with the neighborhood children.

Thank you for your dedication and commitment. Your heart for these children and encouragement to them is so valued. Thank you!

Before my daughter began vision therapy with Barbara Yong, she was a very reluctant reader. She had a short attention span and minutes into writing she would complain of headaches and eye fatigue. She struggled with tracking while reading, spacing while writing, and was clumsy when moving. Then we found Barbara! During Charlotte's sessions with Barbara, she was treated with respect, kindness and patience. Charlotte looked forward to going to her vision therapy sessions because the exercises were enjoyable and Barbara was always so encouraging. As a result of Charlotte's vision therapy, she is now a voracious active reader. She writes stories on her own, focuses longer on a task, has become better at organizing her space and her recall of visual material has improved. Barbara not only made the most of our in office session time but always provided us with exercises to continue at home, helping to reinforce and make the most of the therapy. Barbara Yong creates a loving, safe environment for both the child and the parent. I always looked forward to the reading material she provided and the encouragement and understanding she gave as a parent herself. We will forever be grateful to Barbara for opening Charlotte's world to the pleasure of reading and writing. - Erin
