    HyProMag USA Expands Feedstock Supply Agreement With Global Electronics Recycler, Intelligent Lifecycle Solutions

    VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / November 19, 2025 / CoTec Holdings Corp. (TSXV:CTH)(OTCQB:CTHCF) (“CoTec” or the “Company”) is pleased to note today’s press release by HyProMag USA, LLC (“HyProMag USA”), its U.S.-based joint venture rare earth permanent magnet recycling and manufacturing company.

    HyProMag USA announced it has extended its feedstock supply agreement with global electronics recycling company, Intelligent Lifecycle Solutions, LLC (“ILS”) (the “Supply Agreement”).

    ILS is currently securing and storing neodymium iron boron (“NdFeB”) feedstock from hard disk drives (“HDDs”) at the ILS pre-processing sites in Williston, South Carolina and Reno, Nevada (the “ILS pre-processing sites”) in advance of the commissioning of HyProMag USA’s advanced stage rare earth magnet recycling and manufacturing plant to be located in Fort Worth, Texas.

    In addition to HDDs, ILS will start to procure bulk NdFeB feedstock including rotors from electric motors, wind turbine magnets, speaker assemblies and MRIs. ILS and HyProMag USA have agreed to create a joint “Technical Procurement” team to accelerate all purchases and complete the onboarding of the INSERMA ANOIA S.L. (“Inserma”) “3rd generation” HDD magnet separation system at its sites. HyProMag USA is targeting delivery of the machines to the ILS pre-processing sites by the end of December 2025.

    Julian Treger, Chief Executive of CoTec commented: “The ILS Supply Agreement continues to progress; multiple NdFeB feedstocks have been successfully tested through the accelerated piloting program at the University of Birmingham’s HPMS pilot facility which will support the technical procurement team as it continues to target and purchase bulk NdFeB feedstock sources across the United States. HyProMag USA is continuing to build long-term partnerships and work closely with commercial suppliers, federal and state governments to facilitate these feedstock sources.”

    Graham Davy, ILS CEO commented: “ILS is excited to expand its procurement efforts to other NdFeB sources in partnership with HyProMag USA. The additional procurement and pre-processing operations will assist the recovery and recycling of critical strategic materials within the U.S. and provide a platform for further ILS growth. We look forward to working collaboratively with manufacturers and with their supply and vendor chains to facilitate the growth of rare earth material recycling using HyProMag’s innovative magnet recycling technology in the U.S.”

    SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / November 17, 2025 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) (“Jaguar” or the “Company”) today reported its consolidated third-quarter 2025 financial results.

    2025 THIRD QUARTER COMPANY FINANCIAL RESULTS:

    • Net Revenue: The combined net revenue for the Company’s prescription products (Mytesi®, Gelclair®, and Canalevia®-CA1), including license revenue, was approximately $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2025, representing an increase of approximately 4% over the combined net revenue in the second quarter of 2025, which totaled approximately $3.0 million, and equaled the combined net revenue for the third quarter of 2024.

    • Mytesi Prescription Volume: Mytesi prescription volume increased by approximately 0.9% in the third quarter of 2025 over the second quarter of 2025, and Mytesi prescription volume in the third quarter of 2025 decreased by 3.6% compared to the volume in the third quarter of 2024. Prescription volume differs from invoiced sales volume, which reflects, among other factors, varying buying patterns among specialty pharmacies in the closed network as they manage their inventory levels.

    • License Revenue: For the third quarter of 2025, the Company recognized license fees of $42,858 from a securities purchase agreement with a European partner. As of September 30, 2025, the total deferred revenue associated with this contract amounts to approximately $595,000.

    • Neonorm: Revenues for the non-prescription Neonorm products were minimal for the third quarters of 2025 and 2024.

    • Cost of Product Revenue: Total cost of product revenue decreased by approximately $0.01 million, from $0.54 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to $0.53 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, due to a slight decrease in the average cost of Mytesi bottle lots.

    • Research and Development: The R&D expense decreased by $0.3 million, from $3.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to $4.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, primarily due to the conclusion of the Phase 3 OnTarget clinical trial, which reduced trial-related contract manufacturing services and regulatory activities.

    • Sales and Marketing: The Sales and Marketing expense decreased by approximately $0.01 million, from $2.01 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 to approximately $2.0 million during the same quarter in 2025. Although personnel and related benefits, together with direct marketing fees, increased by $0.6 million, this was offset by decreased third-party consulting and other expenses of $0.7 million.

    • General and Administrative: The G&A expense increased by approximately $0.3 million, from $3.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 to $4.1 million during the same quarter in 2025, largely due to increased legal and compliance expenses from financing activities.

    • Loss from Operations: Loss from operations decreased by $0.1 million, from $7.2 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2024 to $7.3 million during the same period in 2025.

    • Net Loss: Net loss attributable to common shareholders decreased by approximately $0.4 million, from $9.9 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2024 to $9.5 million in the same period in 2025. In addition to the loss from operations:

      • Interest income (expense) decreased by $0.2 million, from approximately $0.2 million of interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 to approximately $6,000 of interest expense in the same period in 2025, primarily due to changing the accounting of certain debt instruments designated at Fair Value Option (FVO).

      • The fair value of financial and hybrid instrument designation at FVO decreased by $0.8 million, from a loss of $3.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, to a loss of $2.3 million in the same period in 2025, primarily due to fair value adjustments in liability classified warrants and notes payable designated at FVO.

    • Non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA: Non-GAAP recurring EBITDA for the third quarters of 2025 and 2024 were a net loss of $8.9 million and $8.9 million, respectively.

    Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Measures

    The Company supplements its condensed consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis by providing non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP recurring EBITDA, which are considered non-GAAP under applicable SEC rules. Jaguar believes that the disclosure items of these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional information that reflects the basis upon which Company management assesses and operates the business. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes for GAAP net sales and GAAP net loss and are not substitutes for, or superior to, measures of financial performance in conformity with GAAP.

    The Company defines non-GAAP EBITDA as net loss before interest expense and other expense, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense and provision for or benefit from income taxes. The Company defines non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA as non-GAAP EBITDA adjusted for certain non-recurring revenues and expenses. Company management believes that non-GAAP EBITDA and non-GAAP Recurring EBITDA are meaningful indicators of Jaguar’s performance and provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

    • Debt Issuance: Issued our 5.875% Convertible Notes, due 2030 (the “2030 Convertible Notes”), for gross proceeds of $149.5 million.

    Fourth Fiscal Quarter 2025 Results:

    Total investment income increased by $2.3 million, or 10.5%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to the prior quarter ended June 30, 2025, driven primarily by a $2.9 million increase in interest income, quarter over quarter, partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in other income. Interest income increased by $2.9 million, or 14.0%, quarter over quarter, primarily due to an increase in the weighted average principal balance of our interest-bearing investment portfolio to $752.0 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $647.2 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2025. This increase was offset by a decrease in the weighted average yield to 12.5% during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 as compared to 12.8% during the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in other income was driven by decreases in dividend income and prepayment fee income quarter over quarter.

    Total expenses increased by $2.1 million, or 20.5%, quarter over quarter, primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in interest expense and a $0.9 million increase in the net incentive fee quarter over quarter. The quarter over quarter increase in interest expense was driven by a $0.9 million increase in interest expense on our Credit Facility and a $0.5 million increase in interest expense on our notes payable. The $0.9 million increase in interest expense on our Credit Facility was driven by increased borrowings; the weighted average balance outstanding on our Credit Facility for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was $74.3 million, as compared to $6.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $67.7 million quarter over quarter. The $0.5 million increase in interest expense on our notes payable was driven by the issuance of the 2030 Convertible Notes in September 2025. The quarter over quarter increase in the net incentive fee was driven by decreased credits to the incentive fee. These increases were partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in the net base management fee, driven by higher investment banking fee credits to the base management fee from increased deal originations.

    Net investment income for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was $11.4 million, or $0.52 per share.

    The net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $14.0 million, or $0.63 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to $7.4 million, or $0.33 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The current quarter increase in net assets resulting from operations was primarily driven by $11.4 million of net investment income and $9.1 million of net unrealized appreciation during the quarter, partially offset by $6.3 million of net realized loss recognized during the quarter.

    Fiscal Year Ended 2025 Results:

    Total investment income during the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $89.1 million and $96.6 million, respectively. The year over year decrease was primarily due to a $6.0 million decrease in interest income and a $1.5 million decrease in other income. The decrease in interest income was driven by a decrease in the weighted average yield of our interest-bearing investment portfolio from 13.9% during the year ended September 30, 2024 to 12.7% during the year ended September 30, 2025. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the weighted average principal balance of our interest-bearing investment portfolio of $15.6 million, or 2.3%, year over year. The decrease in other income was driven primarily by a decrease of $0.9 million in dividend income and a decrease of $0.4 million in success fees received.

    Expenses, net of any non-contractual, unconditional and irrevocable credits to fees from the Adviser, decreased $6.6 million, or 13.1%, for the year ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to a $3.1 million decrease in the net incentive fee, a $2.4 million decrease in the net base management fee, and a $1.7 million decrease in interest expense.

    Net investment income for the year ended September 30, 2025 was $45.2 million, a decrease of 1.8%, as compared to the prior year, or $2.02 per share.

    The net increase in net assets resulting from operations was $57.2 million, or $2.56 per share, for the year ended September 30, 2025, compared to $94.5 million, or $4.34 per share, for the year ended September 30, 2024. The current year increase was driven by net investment income of $45.2 million and net realized gains of $55.6 million, partially offset by $42.7 million in net unrealized depreciation.

    Originally planned for 2027, the Harvest Crusade was hastened by the tragic Sept. 10 assassination of Charlie Kirk on the campus of Utah Valley University. “When we heard of Charlie Kirk’s assassination,” Laurie said, “we immediately reached out to pastors in Utah to ask how we could support them. They said, ‘Come sooner. Our community is hurting.’”

    The Harvest Crusade brought together attendees from across the region, as well as 1000 volunteers, with 67 churches in surrounding areas serving as remote overflow sites. In addition, hundreds of media partners streamed the event nationally, including over 600 radio stations.

    The evening opened with a moving tribute video honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk, setting the tone for a night centered on hope and bold faith.

    “Despite this tragedy, God has done amazing things around our nation and people are asking questions. . . . It was like a wakeup call,” Laurie said. “This is your moment tonight. This is your wakeup call tonight. Don’t let it slip by.”

    The event concluded with an invitation for attendees to make a personal commitment to faith as artist Phil Wickham sang “Oh Come to the Altar.” By the end of the evening, over 2,100 people had made professions of faith in person and online.

    “I was there at UVU on [Sept. 10] and witnessed the murder,” said one attendee. “Seeing the UCCU arena filled with people who were hungry to heal was amazing. The altar call broke me with joyful tears… Healed and peaceful are two words I now identify with.”

    Event Highlights:

    • Venue Attendance: 7,800

    • Livestream Views: 210,000

    • Professions of Faith: 2,100+

    • Participating churches: 67

    “Our one-night event at UVU in Utah was an astounding success! The people were so open, worshipful, and responsive to the gospel. Many came to Christ,” Laurie said.

    The Harvest Crusade at Utah Valley University marks another milestone in Pastor Greg Laurie’s over-35-year ministry of large-scale evangelistic events. Harvest Crusades are large-scale evangelistic events with a worldwide history spanning the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. Since 1990, more than six million people have attended Harvest Crusades in person, in addition to the millions more that have participated online. Cumulatively, more than 600,000 individuals have made professions of faith through the Harvest Crusades.

  • Action Air Duct Announces Enhanced Cleaning Protocols for Colorado Wildfire Season

    Action Air Duct Announces Enhanced Cleaning Protocols for Colorado Wildfire Season

    DENVER, CO – November 18, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Action Air Duct, a Denver-based air duct cleaning company, has announced enhanced cleaning protocols specifically designed to address the unique challenges posed by Colorado’s wildfire season and the resulting smoke particle contamination in residential and commercial HVAC systems.

    The company has developed specialized techniques to remove wildfire ash and smoke particles that become trapped in ductwork during Colorado’s increasingly active fire seasons. These microscopic particles can remain in HVAC systems long after outdoor air quality improves, continuing to circulate throughout homes and businesses with each heating and cooling cycle.

    Action Air Duct

    “Wildfire smoke contains extremely fine particles that penetrate deep into ductwork and can persist for months or even years without professional removal,” said Tamir Bachner of Action Air Duct. “Our enhanced protocols use negative pressure systems combined with HEPA filtration to ensure complete removal of these harmful contaminants, protecting families from ongoing exposure to smoke-related pollutants.”

    The Denver metro area has experienced increased wildfire smoke exposure in recent years, with particles from both local and distant fires affecting indoor air quality. Traditional air filters cannot capture all smoke particles, which range from 0.4 to 0.7 microns in size. These particles settle throughout duct systems and continue recirculating long after fires are extinguished.

    Action Air Duct Cleaning employs video inspection technology to identify areas where smoke particles accumulate most heavily. The company’s technicians use specialized equipment designed to dislodge and capture these particles without releasing them back into living spaces. The process includes antimicrobial treatments that prevent secondary issues such as mold growth in contaminated ductwork.

    Colorado’s unique environmental factors compound the challenge of maintaining clean air ducts. The state’s high altitude affects air circulation patterns, while its dry climate increases static buildup that attracts and holds dust particles. Temperature extremes between seasons cause ductwork to expand and contract, potentially creating gaps where contaminants enter.

    The company reports that professional duct cleaning can reduce respiratory triggers by up to 80 percent, particularly important for households with members suffering from asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions. Clean ductwork also improves HVAC efficiency by up to 25 percent, reducing energy costs and extending equipment lifespan.

    Beyond wildfire smoke, the enhanced protocols address other regional air quality challenges including construction dust from Denver’s building boom, seasonal pollen, and debris from Front Range dust storms. The comprehensive cleaning process removes accumulated contaminants that standard maintenance cannot reach.

    Action Air Duct serves residential and commercial clients throughout the Denver metro area, including Arvada, Aurora, Boulder, Castle Rock, Centennial, Englewood, Golden, Highlands Ranch, Lakewood, Littleton, Parker, Thornton, and Westminster. The family-owned company has operated since 2014, maintaining a focus on professional service and customer satisfaction. The company provides air duct cleaning, dryer vent cleaning and installation, furnace cleaning, HVAC repair and maintenance, and range hood installation services to help maintain healthy indoor environments across Colorado’s Front Range.

  • Scientific Restoration Specialists Inc. Emphasizes Restoration-First Approach for Property Recovery

    Scientific Restoration Specialists Inc. Emphasizes Restoration-First Approach for Property Recovery

    November 18, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Scientific Restoration Specialists Inc., a Lancaster-based restoration company, is highlighting its distinctive restoration-first methodology that prioritizes repairing and restoring damaged property rather than defaulting to replacement. This approach addresses growing concerns among property owners about the time, cost, and disruption associated with traditional disaster recovery methods.

    The company’s restoration-focused strategy represents a departure from conventional practices in the industry, where replacement often becomes the default solution for water damage restoration and other property disasters. By emphasizing repair and restoration of existing materials and belongings, the company reports achieving faster project completion times while reducing overall costs for property owners.

    Scientific Restoration Specialists Inc. Team

    The restoration-first approach utilizes advanced technology, including the Esporta cleaning system, which can restore items damaged by smoke, soot, and other contaminants that might otherwise be discarded. This technology, combined with ultrasonic cleaning techniques, enables the recovery of contents that traditional methods would deem unsalvageable.

    The Scientific Restoration Difference lies in our commitment to preserving what matters most to property owners,” said Kyle Herndon, spokesperson for Scientific Restoration Specialists Inc. “When disaster strikes, whether from water, fire, or mold damage, our first instinct isn’t to tear everything out and start over. We evaluate what can be saved and restored, which often surprises clients who assume their belongings are total losses.”

    For property owners facing water damage restoration challenges, the company’s methodology offers several advantages. The process begins with a thorough initial assessment to determine which materials and belongings can be restored. This is followed by specialized mitigation techniques, water extraction, and targeted drying and dehumidification processes designed to preserve existing structures and contents.

    The company maintains IICRC certifications in water, mold, and fire restoration, ensuring adherence to industry standards while implementing its restoration-focused approach. With over 19 years of experience serving Southern California communities, the team has developed expertise in evaluating and restoring properties affected by various types of damage.

    “Property owners often don’t realize how much can actually be saved after a disaster,” added Herndon. “Our restoration teams regularly recover family heirlooms, important documents, and structural elements that clients assumed were destroyed. This not only reduces replacement costs but also preserves items with irreplaceable sentimental value.”

    The restoration-first methodology also addresses environmental concerns by reducing waste sent to landfills and minimizing the resources required for manufacturing replacement materials. This approach aligns with growing awareness about sustainable practices in the construction and restoration industries.

    Scientific Restoration Specialists Inc. provides comprehensive restoration services, including water damage restoration, fire damage restoration, mold removal, sewage cleanup, and specialized drying services. The company operates with 24/7 emergency response capabilities and works directly with insurance companies to streamline the claims process for property owners. As a locally owned business based in Lancaster, California, the company serves residential and commercial properties throughout Southern California, offering free inspections and specialized discounts for military personnel and seniors.

  • Convenience Drives Teen Generative AI Use While Loss of Critical Thinking Emerges as Top Fear

    Convenience Drives Teen Generative AI Use While Loss of Critical Thinking Emerges as Top Fear

    New U.S. research from the Family Online Safety Institute reveals how older teens are using, understanding, and feeling about generative AI

    WASHINGTON, D.C. / ACCESS Newswire / November 18, 2025 / As generative AI transforms everyday life, a new study from the Family Online Safety Institute (FOSI) shows how older teens are engaging with these tools and what they see as the benefits and risks.

    The report, Generative AI and Uncertain Times: How Teens Are Navigating a New Digital Frontier, focuses on teens ages 15 to 18 and their use of generative AI tools. Based on focus group discussions and a national survey of 1,000 U.S. teen generative AI users, the study provides an early look at how the next generation relates to this technology at school, at home, and in social settings.

    “Generative AI is reshaping how young people learn, create, and communicate,” said Alanna Powers-O’Brien, co-author of the report “This research highlights both opportunity and challenge. Teens are curious and resourceful, and they need clear guidance, responsible design, and a voice in shaping the digital future.”

    Key Findings

    • 45% of teen generative AI users engage with these tools more than once a week.

    • Convenience (30%) and speed (18%) are the most cited benefits.

    • Concerns about generative AI are relatively evenly distributed. Loss of critical thinking skills (19%) is the top concern, followed by impact on future generations (15%).

    • 42% have talked about their feelings with a generative AI chatbot.

    • 60% say they feel safe while using generative AI, but 44% say generative AI’s behaviors “freak them out.”

    • 54% believe young people should be involved in the design of GenAI tools.

    • 57% report that their parents do not have rules about GenAI use.

    The data reveal differences by gender and identity. Teen girls are more likely to worry about generative AI’s potential erosion of critical thinking skills, but are also more likely to value its convenience. Teen boys are more likely to see accuracy as a benefit of the technology, but worry about potential impacts on the job market. LGBTQ+ teens are more likely to talk about their feelings with chatbots. Members of this community also tend to have greater privacy and safety concerns.

    Global Implications

    Findings point to practical steps for key stakeholders:

    • Parents: Start open conversations, set household boundaries, and learn alongside teens.

    • Industry: Design with youth, not just for them. Make safety, transparency, and privacy the default.

    • Policymakers: Use evidence-based approaches that balance innovation and protection. Establish baseline standards and invest in media and digital literacy.

    “Understanding how teens think and feel about generative AI is essential to building the right policies and protections,” said Andrew Zack, Senior Policy Manager. “Their perspectives can guide more thoughtful, inclusive, and effective solutions.”

    About the Research

    This mixed-methods study includes four focus groups, three youth reflection sessions, and a national survey of 1,000 U.S. teens who used generative AI in the past six months. Qualitative data collection was conducted with In Tandem. Quantitative data collection was conducted by TeenVoice.

    Pediatric Eye Specialists, a North Texas-based ophthalmology practice dedicated to pediatric vision care, has published a new educational article, “Vision-Related Learning Problems,” addressing one of the most frequently overlooked causes of academic struggles in children: undiagnosed vision issues. The article brings attention to how children who appear to have learning or attention problems may, in fact, be struggling with visual disorders that impact reading, writing, focus, and comprehension—even when standard eye tests show 20/20 vision.

    According to Pediatric Eye Specialists, as many as one in four school-aged children may have a vision problem that affects learning. These issues often go unnoticed because most school-based screenings check only for visual acuity, not for how well the eyes work together or how efficiently the brain processes visual information. The article emphasizes that when a child’s visual system does not function properly, it can affect nearly every aspect of classroom performance—from reading fluency to handwriting and math comprehension.

    The new release, available on the Pediatric Eye Specialists website, outlines four major categories of vision-related learning problems: refractive errors, binocular vision disorders, functional vision problems, and visual perception problems. Each can interfere with a child’s academic performance in different ways. Refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism distort visual clarity, while binocular vision disorders—such as amblyopia and strabismus—disrupt how both eyes align and work together. Functional vision problems affect how the eyes move and focus, leading to eye strain, headaches, and trouble reading. Visual perception problems, meanwhile, involve how the brain interprets what the eyes see, influencing spatial awareness, memory, and organization on the page.

    “Many parents assume that if their child passes a vision screening, vision isn’t the issue,” said Dr. Eric Packwood, pediatric ophthalmologist at Pediatric Eye Specialists. “But vision is more than seeing clearly—it’s how the eyes and brain coordinate complex visual tasks required for learning. Identifying and treating these issues early can make a profound difference in a child’s academic confidence and long-term success.”

    The article also details how vision problems can mimic or exacerbate conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Children experiencing eye strain or blurred vision may appear distracted, restless, or unmotivated, when in fact they are simply struggling to process what they see. These challenges can lead to frustration, avoidance of reading tasks, and even behavioral issues in the classroom. Pediatric Eye Specialists notes that comprehensive pediatric eye exams—beyond basic screenings—can help distinguish between true learning disabilities and vision-related barriers.

    In addition to outlining the causes and symptoms of vision-related learning problems, the article explains how these issues are diagnosed and treated. Comprehensive testing performed by pediatric ophthalmologists evaluates not only clarity of vision but also eye teaming, tracking, focusing, and visual processing. Treatment may include prescription glasses, corrective lenses for near work, or vision therapy designed to strengthen eye coordination and focusing skills. Early intervention can help prevent academic setbacks and restore confidence for children who may otherwise be mislabeled as inattentive or struggling learners.

    Dr. Packwood added, “Our goal is to identify the root cause of a child’s academic difficulty rather than simply addressing the symptoms. When vision challenges are corrected, parents and teachers often notice remarkable improvements in reading fluency, attention, and overall classroom engagement.”

    The article underscores that many signs of vision-related learning problems are subtle. Children may experience headaches, eye strain, or fatigue after reading, skip lines while reading aloud, or have poor handwriting and difficulty copying from the board. These symptoms often go unrecognized or mistaken for lack of effort. Pediatric Eye Specialists encourages parents to seek evaluation if their child exhibits these signs, particularly when traditional educational interventions have not improved performance.

    The publication also distinguishes between learning disabilities and vision-related problems, clarifying that the former involves neurological processing while the latter relates to how the eyes and brain coordinate visual input. Understanding this difference helps educators and families pursue the most appropriate support for each child. Pediatric Eye Specialists continues to advocate for comprehensive eye exams as a standard part of developmental and academic evaluations.

    Serving families across Fort Worth, Denton, Mansfield, Prosper, and Keller, Pediatric Eye Specialists provides specialized pediatric ophthalmology care focused on early detection and intervention. The practice’s multidisciplinary approach combines medical expertise with compassion, ensuring every child receives the support needed to reach their visual and academic potential.

    “Vision-Related Learning Problems” serves as both an educational resource for parents and a call to action for educators, pediatricians, and journalists to highlight the critical connection between healthy vision and learning success. Reporters interested in covering pediatric eye health or scheduling an interview with Dr. Packwood are invited to contact Pediatric Eye Specialists’ media office for additional information and data resources.
