I was surprised to see the use of colored overlays in a discussion about dyslexia.
I was first introduced to their use in the 80s. The Irlen Institute was screening people for something called scotopic sensitivity and they would advise on the appropriate colored glasses or transparency to help alleviate the problems of light on white paper that caused reading problems for some people. I just looked at their website(below)and it does look like they have broadened the use. http://irlen.com/index.php Gina _________________________________________________________________ Windows 7: I wanted more reliable, now it's more reliable.
