The Atticus Act: Legislation for those struggling with Binocular Vision Disorder BVD Petition: Signature List Feed http://gopetition.com/signatures/the-atticus-act-legislation-for-those-struggling-with-binocular-vision-disorder-bvd.html Online petition signatures en-us Thu, 9 Apr 2026 05:56 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Connie Marshall [Signature #26] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/24432802?utm_medium=rss Our son was diagnosed with Visual Information Processing Disorder at 16. The optometrist did a simple test, having our son watch her pen as she moved it towards his face. From that she realized he might have an issue and needed further testing. This simple test could surely be integrated into regular school exams.

Also, I think that literary specialists in elementary schools need to be made aware of vision disorders. Our son was put in a "special reading" class in Kindergarten because he was "behind" his peers in reading. If the teacher had known about vision disorders, he could have been tested back then and possible (probably) have avoided many issues -- poor grades, anxiety, low self-esteem.

We, as a nation, are getting better at helping to classify children to help them receive services and the help that they need in public schools. One area we can improve on is ADHD. Many children are being misdiagnosed which does not help the children and can be more harmful as they are prescribed medication for a misdiagnosis. Please help them. They are our future and need all the help they can get!

She has a hard time in school and because BVD isn't recognized the way dyslexia is, she cannot get the help she needs to be a successful student.

Thank you! We struggled until we got the right diagnosis and therapy. There's a difference between vision and sight. We only test and screen for sight problems in young children. Its super easy to also test for vision problems and get them corrected early! Montgomery County, Maryland public schools can do better too!
