* Results from 2 other research studies, one in Indiana and the other in New York City showed results that averaged between 1.1 to 1.4 years growth for students using the Visual Motor Skill software. The results nearly doubled the control group results over the same time period. We are confident that the Vision Start Program will help students all across Michigan.
