Furth, Dr. Wachs wrote "Thinking Goes to School" (1974); building on the cognitive-development theories of Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget, the book outlined a series of "thinking games"--among them, visual and spatial activities with blocks, sounds, strings--aimed at stimulating children's intellectual growth; Dr. Wachs moved to the Washington area in the late 1970s to teach at Catholic University and then at George Washington University, where he established a program at the school's reading center to help children with autism and developmental disabilities; also created a series of visual tests aimed at measuring such traits as raw intelligence, competitiveness and adaptability; in 1991, he founded the Vision & Conceptual Development Center, which primarily offers vision therapy to children with developmental disorders but also treats adults (it opened in the District [of Columbia] and has since relocated to Chevy Chase); Harry Wachs was born in the Pittsburgh suburb of New Kensington on May 24, 1924; received a doctor of optometry degree in 1948 from what is now Salus University in Elkins Park, Pa.; sold the Vision & Conceptual Development Center to another optometrist in 2006 but continued seeing patients at his home in Huntingtown, Md., until shortly before the death of his wife, the former Ruth Weinstein, in 2012; retired to Chevy Chase later that year)
