Following the recent BBC programme ‘Don’t call me Stupid’ featuring the actress and Strictly Come Dancing winner Kara Tointon, who suffers from visula Dyslexia, was prescribed green coloured lenses to help her with reading.The programme also highlighted the issues around our formal education system.Kara says ‘I know that the normal school way of learning didn’t work for me.’ She dreams about reading a novel from cover to cover.In the intimate documentary, Kara is tested and undergoes specialist help,meets other young dyslexics and we see the transformation following the diagnosis of her visual problem . Here at LTS we have seen this transformation many times with comments from parents and individuals such as ‘It feels like a miracle ‘ and ‘The difference is quite astonishing’.This aspect of dyslexia is easily remedied with our diagnosis which takes around one hour, (the Irlen method), and can effectively improve the rate and comfort of reading. From our own records, we know that coloured lenses can also hep with spelling, balance problems and fine motor coordination. For further research articles on Irlen, go to www.irlen.com .
