How Irlen Can Enhance Your Practice
The ability to identify and treat Irlen Syndrome in the individuals you work with allows you to offer your clientele access to maximum healing and learning potential. Irlen Syndrome is often a barrier that prevents other interventions, remediation, and learning programs from being fully effective. Once you address Irlen Syndrome, your other services can be more successful.
Better Diagnosis. Simply being aware of Irlen Syndrome allows you to better diagnose and treat your clients. A quick pre-screening for Irlen Syndrome can identify clients who are at risk.
Flexible Application. The Irlen Screening process is easy to administer and can be adapted for use with individuals, large groups, children, or adults.
More Effective Treatment. If you identify clients at risk for Irlen Syndrome and successfully address their Irlen Syndrome before addressing other issues, other interventions, remediation, and educational programs can be more successful.

READING, LEARNING, AND ATTENTION PROBLEMS do not have to limit a child’s future. We’ve got a way! Find out what the Irlen Method, using Irlen Colored Overlays, can do. |
Research was initiated in the 1980’s to study methods of helping adults and children with unresolved learning and reading problems. This research revealed that certain individuals showed a marked improvement in their ability when reading material covered by a colored overlay. Helen Irlen developed a diagnostic assessment instrument to accurately determine those individuals who could benefit from reading using color. The Irlen Method provides a real solution that works simply and effectively. It can be easily incorporated into the educational setting and assessment battery. |
