Introduction

I started thinking about this type of communication during the pandemic. I would go into my office periodically and write down thoughts and ideas that came to mind. The more I did this, ideas came forth from many places and I began doing this every day. It may have been a sentence, a paragraph, or even a page, but I was motivated to move my ideas to the written word. I have spent many years developing an understanding of what vision is for, what vision development means, and the critical importance of vision in all aspects of development. My mentors were John Streff and Dick Apell and through them, I was exposed to the landmark works of Arnold Gesell, MD. I would be remiss to not include others who had indirect influence on my thinking and understanding these broader concepts of HOW an individual uses vision throughout life such as Jerry Getman, Bob Kraskin, Paul Harris, Greg Kitchener, and Steve Gallop. But the basis for my understanding of the importance of vision in all of development always goes back to Arnold Gesell.
