Are reading, glare, bright lights, or screen time harder than they should be?
Maybe you’ve been told to “try harder.”
Maybe your child is exhausted after school.

Sometimes the first step is simply asking the right questions.
Our Irlen self-test dyslexiaservices.com.au/self-assessment can help you recognise whether visual stress or light sensitivity may be affecting learning, reading, work, or daily life, and whether an Irlen appointment could be worth exploring.
You do not have to keep guessing.
Take the self-test today.

PARENT TEACHER INTERVIEWS
What was the main issue your child has?
• Not meeting learning standards
• Not achieving to their abilities
• Disruptive in class
• Trouble finishing their work
• Talkative or wanting to wander around the classroom
Any of these issues can be related to a child with Irlen Syndrome.
Work is too hard so it is easier to talk, wander around or even day dream.
They can’t finish their work because they are constantly losing their place.
A simple one hour assessment may provide the answers and change your child’s schooling outcomes forever.

We recently had the opportunity to meet a young girl who shared her challenges with schoolwork. She experiences difficulty perceiving white objects, which has impacted her ability to enjoy activities like reading printed music. We are committed to exploring ways to support her learning journey and enhance her educational experiences. Every child deserves the tools and resources to succeed.

If you are diagnosed as being dyslexic it is important to try and find the cause.
Sometimes the cause is Visual Processing Disorder which can make the words appear to move, blur, glow, swirl or double, or can even make white paper extremely hard to look at concentrate on.
If this sounds like you.... maybe it's Irlen Syndrome and a set of specifically tinted lenses might be the answer to better reading.

Can Irlen coloured filters help with reading?

How can wearing a pair of glasses with coloured lenses help someone read?

The answer is simple...

The tinted lenses are actually filters which stop some of the wavelengths from light (rainbow) from entering the brain and visual cortex through the eyes, and stops them from interfering in the processing of the visual information seen by the eyes.
For people with Irlen Syndrome that filtering stops the words from seemingly moving, blurring, disappearing, swirling or jumping and makes the white paper more comfortable to look at.
They don't teach the words, they simply allow the wearer to see the words clearer and so they are then able to read the words they know and go on to more easily learn new words.
