What difficulties does your child show?
Usually, parents see us when their child's reading, handwriting or learning is still a problem...
-
even when they have had extra support at school
-
even when they have had private tutoring
-
even when they have been given glasses to dal with poor vision
.
Do Irlen lenses improve reading and writing?
No. Unless that person has Irlen Syndrome.
Then the precision tint reduces visual stress so the person can more easily learn.
Big question...
​One of the main unacknowledged causes of ongoing reading/learning difficulties is visual stress because of poor visual processing (Irlen Syndrome), not poor vision.
Poor visual processing does not usually improve with time, maturation, more reading practice or even the best teaching and tutoring, though some early research indicated that Omega 3 could help .
What else can be affected by/contribute to
visual stress/Irlen Syndrome
Big question...
Balance
Ball skills - depth perception in sports
Busy visual environments
Bright - glare environments
Communication-noticing cues, changes of expression/emotion
Irlen behaviour many not be recognised, may be regarded as inattention, laziness
