The Irlen Method
Is the only research-based method using colored overlays and filters. Helen Irlen discovered and created this method in 1980, and it is now being used in over 42 countries.
The Irlen Method is a non-invasive technology that uses colored overlays and filters to improve the brain's ability to process visual information.
It is the only method scientifically proven to successfully correct the processing problems associated with Irlen Syndrome.
This technology can improve reading fluency, comfort,comprehension, attention, and concentration while reducinglight sensitivity.
This is not a method of reading instruction. It is a color-based technology that filters out offensive light waves, so the brain can accurately process visual information.
