Reply To: Overlays vs. coloured paper – dyslexia friendly

[Cheryl]

Hi Charlotte

I completed my training about 4 years ago, it’s made a massive difference in college. Any queries about colour and I meet with the student to have a chat with them and do a screening.. It really sifts out the ones who have genuine problems and those who just like using a particular colour. Obviously, it helps to find the correct colour for the student to use too, results have been amazing.

If you look online for Irlenuk. com, there’s a list of Irlen centres. I completed my training with Irlen NorthEast. You have to retrain every 3 years, it’s all very interesting.

Hope that helps.
