Sarah’s Story 

   “I came to Dr. Johnson through a referral from the occupational therapist in my hometown. My therapist and I were working on vision issues and motor skills dealing with my injuries. In doing so, she had some concerns that she brought to my mother’s attention. Soon after, my mother and I met with Dr. Johnson and Chris Erbisch. The initial appointment and therapy session was a huge hurdle that I was determined to conquer in the end.

The weekly activities are beneficial to your recovery. They also help you achieve your own personal goal, mine was to “not stare at my nose” and…..I don’t stare at my nose anymore. In the end I finished vision therapy successfully. The activities keep you on track of where you need to strive to be at and practice. It is also written communication between yourself and your therapist because you're only there one day (a week). I’m happy to have had the chance to be able to go through the sessions. I can honestly say no one should give up because one doctor may tell you, ‘there is nothing I can do.’ Be that person to go through vision therapy and achieve your own success. I believe success comes from a person believing and being able to achieve their own goal.

I gained more confidence than I ever thought I would by being able to achieve my goal through vision therapy. I went farther than anyone thought I would. Open the door yourself and be able to smile, knowing you did it. Never let anyone get in the way of your goals or recovery because you are the biggest critic.”

“ Sarah was involved in an ATV accident with head and upper brain stem injuries. It affected her vision. We traveled out of the area to see a neuro-opthamologist. He had no treatment for her visual deficits and stated that she had blocked vision that Sarah would have to live with. An Occupational Therapist recommended Dr. Johnson. We were not giving up on a chance to give Sarah back her independence. This has been a great opportunity for her and proven to be successful. Sarah has regained her independence and is now driving.  Thank you.”
