Transforming Minds, Empowering Lives!

Our mission is to enhance and optimize vision for individuals of all ages, enabling them to unlock their full potential. We recognize that vision development is a lifelong process, and we are dedicated to providing practical training and evaluation of jump eye movements - fundamental aspects of vision.

With the understanding that 80% of sensory acquisition occurs through the visual system, we strive to address the needs of the 20% of the population who experience challenges with jump eye movements, leading to slow and laborious reading.

Through our specialized training programs, we aim to improve jump eye movement skills, resulting in increased reading speed, comprehension, fluency, and enjoyment. Our vision-focused approach empowers individuals to thrive academically and beyond.

Maricarol Rodgers • Volunteer since 2015

I started with RBTL years ago at Sarah Winnemucca Elementary School. I have seen that 10 minutes a day can change a child's reading ability!! I have stayed with the program to make a difference in reading abilities in children!!! And I will stick with them until I cannot volunteer anymore!! Nothing like this program has ever made such a difference!!
