Here is another amazing success story of someone with Irlen Syndrome
In the previous post, I started to highlight amazing success stories from the 'Yes I Can' award program of children and adults that have risen above adversity and are now living successful lives. The next story is also incredible. Henry Richards is an eight year old boy from the UK. Here is part of the amazing story of this brave little boy.
"His father is a certified Irlen Screener who writes that “Irlen Filters have truly changed my son’s life.” Before his Irlen Filters, Henry could not read, could hardly write, and was very angry and withdrawn. Although good at gymnastics, competition proved stressful. He has worn his Irlen Filters all day, every day, for the past 8 months; and with hard work is in the top literacy group…reading two years above his actual age. He sleeps well, speaks and writes fluently, is calm, organized, and a regional gymnastic champion." (www.irlen.com)

Amazing success stories about people with Irlen Syndrome
In the newsletter I receive from the Irlen Institute in America, they have started a campaign called "Yes I Can". It highlights stories of individuals that have done amazing things once they have their Irlen filters on. Here is one example:
Angeline, of Sparks, Nevada, is 9 years of age. A world renown reading expert noted that Angeline would probably be compromised and potentially need books on tape but her reading difficulties and her struggles would build character. Angeline was nominated by her mother who is proud that her “Yes I Can” ways earned her A’s and B’s in 3rd grade. She received the Most Improved Award by the end of the year and, in 4th grade, had an invitation to the National Elementary Honor Society Club and won the Falcon Award for academic performance and behavior. With her Irlen Spectral Filters, Angeline is no longer defined by her reading inadequacies but is now using her “Yes I Can” ways to excel in every way.
How fantastic is that! I will post more stories on my blog each week.
Cheers
Christine

The Irlen Revolution
It was with great excitement that I saw my blog about Irlen referenced on the Irlen Screeners International Newsletter that is emailed out to thousands of subscribers. As my aim is to deepen the awareness of Irlen in the community, this was a wonderful development.
