My son is dyslexic, and we were recommended Agnes by the school and a local optician. Agnes worked with my son over several months. Agnes was kind, knowledgeable and able to engage with my son, encouraging him to complete the tailored exercises. Since working with Agnes my son has done really well. He has begun to enjoy reading books, to the point of not wanting to get out of the car so he could keep reading. His coordination improved and he was awarded 'team cricket player of the year'. He is also able to independently organise himself for school every morning!

We knew our son was struggling at primary school but until working with Agnes we never really understood how our son was viewing the world and how we could help him. Agnes has been nothing but kind and supportive through the whole process. The electronic record of the exercises really helped us to keep on track.

The encouragement she gave our son was wonderful. She used really intuitive exercises that kept his interest and helped develop his skills.

Having gone through the treatment, our son's confidence has grown. Not just his reading ability but also his coordination and sports. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Agnes to others and indeed, have already done so. We are so grateful for you support, Agnes. Thank you for all you have done to help our son progress.

We have really enjoyed working with Agnes, my son has dyslexia and dyspraxia and Agnes has helped him with his co-ordination, eye tracking and so much more. Agnes made his sessions fun and enjoyable so he was always happy to partake. I feel Agnes has done so much more for our son than we expected, we have seen real changes that have made his life easier during the last year.

Agnes was referred to us by The Vision Centre in Gloucester. Our daughter had undiagnosed learning difficulties and Agnes quickly recognised visual impairments and some infant reflexes in our child which were creating barriers to her ability to learn. After a six month course of focussed exercises combined with monthly progress assessments, our daughter’s academic work has improved significantly. She can concentrate for longer periods which has increased her confidence in the classroom. Agnes’ approach is sympathetic and encouraging without being condescending. This fantastic balance helped our daughter achieve such rapid progress. Thanks for all your help Agnes.

I have suffered with very bad motion sickness all my life and found Agnes after coming across some research on vision problems that can cause it. I had an assessment with Agnes to look into this (which co-incidentally identified some other problems to work on as well). Agnes recommended some new lenses for my glasses, as well as vision therapy, which has been incredible. I can now travel in the car with minimal nausea, my vision has improved and I am much less tired after working all day. Working with Agnes has changed my life even in these short few months and I would highly recommend her services!

My 10 year old son has been suffering from car sickness all his life. We have done 2 vision therapy sessions with Agnes and 2 months of exercises at home. I am amazed at the changes we are seeing in his concentration but also, last weekend we went to Wales and my son did not need his sick bands in the car and managed the whole trip without feeling sick!

I wanted to let you know how absolutely amazed I am today that Freya came bouncing through the door from school, saying she has been moved up not 1 but 2 stages in reading! Her teacher said she was so close to moving up 3 stages!! I am so grateful for the work that you put into Freya. This would never have happened had she not had a course of therapy with you.Thank you once again for the incredible work you do.

After only 3 vision therapy sessions I have seen a marked improvement in my daughter's reading ability and her willingness to read.

" I have done Vision Therapy with Agnes for the last 4 months. I realised last week that when reading I do not sound like a robot anymore."

"Agnes has been absolutely brilliant, she has explained everything very clearly, been extremely helpful and informative.  She has made my daughter feel at ease with the exercises and all that she needs to do to improve her eye movements. We are about halfway through the sessions and have noticed an improvement with fluency when reading.  I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Agnes to anyone."

"We really can't thank you enough. The sessions our daughter had with you improved not only her reading but her mood too. She is far happier and now feeling confident about starting secondary school later this year."

I was absolutely blown away by the special service Agnes Ali offers. I was diagnosed with dyslexia at a young age and went to an Optometrist in year 7 to figure out why I was struggling so much with headaches, eye fatigue and struggling to copy from the school board or from a book. The local optometrist did the standard eye test and told me I was fine.

20 years later at Agnes Ali, the results have been somewhat eye opening. A new pair of uniquely prescribed glasses have rapidly reduced the frequency of headaches. They have increased my concentration time, made it easier to identify and select things from shopping shelves, made driving safer and I can drive for longer.

I am looking forward to continuing the work with exercises with Agnes.

She is practical, understanding and professional. I am so pleased that I finally have the support I need and I don’t have to live another 20 years fighting tough concentration and suffering headaches!
