title: Use of visual training for reading disabilities: a review.
abstract: Visual training continues to be used as a remediation technique for reading disabilities despite consistent evidence that it does not provide effective treatment. A review of the ophthalmologic, optometric, and psychological literature relating to the assumption that a relationship exists between reading failure and perceptual ability has found no evidence to support this assumption.
