Research into Irlen Filters

Irlen Syndrome is a visual perception dysfunction and is not related to regular optometric problems. There have been numerous controlled studies that have reported improvements in reading with the use of coloured filters.
For more information on the current research that is available about Irlen Syndrome, you can visit this site.

How Many Combinations of Irlen filters can be made?

You would be surprised to know, that it is possible to make over 380 trillion different combinations of Irlen filters! This is the reason why the Irlen Method is so successful, because it targets the exact spectrum of light which the individual's brain has trouble processing. Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!

Here is the information posted about the webinar from the Building Strength website.

" Seventy percent of the information an individual receives enters through the eyes and must be correctly interpreted by the brain. Any problem in the way the brain processes visual information can cause difficulties in the general ability to function, especially for individuals on the autistic spectrum. Sensory overload causes problems processing, interpreting, and interacting with the environment. The Irlen Method helps individuals on the autistic spectrum by filtering the specific frequencies of light to which the individual is sensitive. This allows the brain to process visual information normally and results in improvements in a variety of areas including behavior, social interaction, small and gross motor skills, and communication while eliminating physical symptoms related to light sensitivity.

Is Irlen Syndrome/Scotopic Sensitivity Inherited?

There has been some research done in Australia by (Robinson, Foreman & Dear, 2000) which investigated
the possibility that Scotopic Sensitivity/Irlen Syndrome runs in families.
Their research found that there was an 84% chance of at least one parent showing similar symptoms.
When I was screening a student last year, their mother was present at the screening. She actually presented with very significant symptoms at the time. When I asked the mother to come back for a screening the next day, I found significant indicators that she had Irlen Syndrome as well.
