We are in Bandera, near San Antonio. My son has just turned 9 and has started
the 4th grade. My ex-husband is a teacher at a nearby district, and after seeing
some of the problems, told me to have him tested. I did not know that the school
district supposedly had a certified screener, so I took him to Childrens
Diagnostic Learning Center in Bulverde. I am so glad that I did. Susan was
wonderful!! Anyway, you are very lucky that you have a school that recognizes
SSS, ours doesn't. There are two (2) out of roughly 3000 kids in our district
that have SSS. Yeah right! He passed the reading TAKS but missed the standard in
Math by 2-3 points. My son also has good vision( 20/15). He wears a visor, along
with using his overlay(purple). He has a teacher this year that likes to work
with the lights off!! He actually likes her. Talking about small print, my son
has decided that Gameboys are stupid. We were going to get him one for his
b-day, but he didn't want it. Said the screen was too
small. Is it Dr.Johnson that you are going to see? I heard she is very good.
She comes to Bulverde once or twice a year, and we are hoping to get in to see
her when she does. Keep in touch, and let me know how things are going. After
two years, I am so glad to be able to talk to someone who understands what my
son and I go through. Good luck to you and your family and God Bless!





I am from Tx also.....Mauriceville,TX....where are you from......how old is your
son and who found out that he has SSS. We changed school districts last year
and the new school found this out....my son is 14 and in 9th grade....he has
always made A and B however we have pushed him all these years...and now it is
so sad to know how he has struggled to stay up with the rest of the
class.....the Taks test is what would be the worst....he always passed, however
he would be so sick after 3 days of testing....and last year the school was able
to copy his test in his color....my son is double purple, and that is so deep
purple that they can't make an overlay to fit him..he does have an overlay and
it does help but he still doesn't see like me and I feel I need to get him all
the help that is possible so he can see the way I see...the more they add colors
together the blurrier it gets for him...he does not wear glasses(eye sight is
20/20) and he writes on a very dark purple/blueish
paper....the school makes him notebook paper....they have been wonderful to him
and we know that God is the one that opened the door for him to transfer to that
school....he does play sports and always has(basketball) and is extremely good
at it....so he doesn't have the depth perception----now that we can see.....I
have called a Dr. in Baytown and she is to call me back....I am pretty sure that
we will go see her for filters....he only sees one or two LETTERS at a
time....and I am going today to the book store to buy a large print
dictionary....he let me know last night that he couldn't see the small print.
Thank you for your insight....every little bit helps.....
