Color overlays - Dyslexia, ADHD etc - Help with reading!

[Guest guest]

Hi all, In another one of my groups one of the parents expressed

concern over her child who was dyslexic and ADHD and the struggle they

had to read. Early on he wore colored glasses but the school said he

could no longer wear them in class.

 

I knew I had seen something in my research on this disorder related to

overlays, so I did a search and here were some of the tings that came

up (below) .

 

I found this in one of the links below. The Virtual Reading Ruler

http://www.crossboweducation.com/Virtual%20Reading%20Rulers.htm

Try it out. I am not dyslexic but I tried this virtual ruler just to

get a feel for what it could do. I read alot on the computer and print

out much I want to read cause it is easier on me. Using the Virtual

Ruler I scanned through the colors spectrum supplied and couldn't

believe the difference there was (fatigue factor and strain) when i

selected the lilac overlay. I can see how this would really be of

benefit to someone who had big problems reading. My granddaughter,

really struggles like this and I am going to have her see which color

makes things better for her as soon as she gets here tonight. I really

feel for her cause she really misses out due to struggling to read.

They also have the overlays and an over lay ruler so once she sees

which one best suits her I've already decided to purchase overlays in

that color for her. It is so nice that something like this is

available.
