WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE THIS MUM? This is a testimonial from the parent of one of the many students who have Irlen Syndrome and struggle at school for no apparent reason. ." I couldn't believe the difference in reading fluency in my daughter of 13. Afterwards she said to me, Mum, even the writing on the walls didn't have bubbles on it." 😊 This student thought that she had dyslexia, but she had Irlen Syndrome which resulted in her displaying dyslexia symptoms. "Bubbles" around words and letters is just one of the many distortions experienced by people with Irlen Syndrome. It is a HIDDEN difficulty with no obvious causes like poor eyesight or intelligence. This young girl's life changed dramatically after finding out that she could actually read and understand.

This was the result of a one-hour appointment that identified the problem and then solved it.

Call us on (02) 49556904 Monday to Thursday 9am to 4pm to have an obligation-free discussion on how we might be able to help your child!

Julia is 10 years old and her Irlen glasses have helped to improve her grades. When reading her specific Irlen color makes the words bigger and spreads them apart. In addition to this benefit, the Irlen glasses help her in the environment as she can see more detail and patterns stop moving!

Last week I received this lovely text message from the mother of a recent client.

'Hi Heather, 2 days with his (new Irlen) glasses at school and Cody (8 years) is loving them. He told me he can read so much faster and they are even helping him write better.
Thank you for making such a positive impact in his life.

In 12 months, Cody will come to see me for an Irlen tint recheck just to make sure the tint is exactly right for him as he will have grown another year.

A recent study indicates a significant overlap between Irlen Syndrome and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In one study, approximately 50% of participants diagnosed with both Irlen Syndrome and ADHD no longer met the diagnostic criteria for an attention deficit disorder after beginning to use Irlen Spectral Filters. Addressing the underlying visual processing difficulties associated with Irlen Syndrome effectively resolved the attention-related symptoms previously attributed to ADHD, suggesting a potential pattern of misdiagnosis in cases where visual processing deficits are present (BarNir, Shaked, Elad, & Tosta, 2023).

Additionally, a separate study found that 64% of individuals diagnosed with ADHD reported visual sensory sensitivities, including discomfort with lighting, reading difficulties, atypical visual perceptions, and challenges processing visually complex environments (Wada, Hayashi, Seino, Ishii, Nawa, & Nishimaki, 2023). These findings underscore the importance of assessing visual processing factors when evaluating attentional and sensory regulation difficulties.

This success story is so πŸ™ŒπŸΌ so we had to repost it. It’s from one of our clinicians . A complete list of our diagnosticians is on our website at www.irlen.com

β€˜Before she found me and the Irlen Method, this sweet girl was placed in an outpatient psychiatric program because of what have turned out to be visual processing issues. The floor would move and wave, words would float off the page, driving made her hysterical, and her brain was so over aroused, life was quickly becoming unmanageable. She had been given all kinds of diagnoses to attempt to explain the visual distortions she was having.
In just a couple of hours this morning, we were able to find her precision tinted lens. We were all in tears by the time we finished because the world stopped spinning. Her relief was palatable as she realized that she wasn’t saddled with a list of disorders.’

Take the Irlen self test πŸ”— in bio and see for yourself.

🌿 Did you know? Irlen Syndrome can co-exist with other conditions.

Many people with Autism, ADHD, or developmental delays also experience Irlen Syndrome, a light sensitivity and visual processing difficulty.

When Irlen is present, it can intensify symptoms like:
✨ Sensory overload
πŸ“– Difficulty focusing or reading
πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« Increased fatigue, headaches, or anxiety
🧠 Trouble processing visual information

Addressing Irlen Syndrome with coloured overlays or precision-tinted lenses can reduce these added challenges, making everyday tasks more comfortable and learning more accessible.

πŸ”Ή Early screening matters β€” especially for those already managing other conditions.
