22.01.2022 As a trainee teacher I was told that all children needed to do to learn to read was to practise. I had one that needed a lot more than that. Sounding out his words over and over helped. It was only when he received his Irlen lenses in grade 6 that he was able to make sense of the letters and words and then enjoy reading. To find out more or make an appointment ring Heather on 07 41571031

22.01.2022 Tim had sore, tired, itchy eyes when he read for a short time. He didn't realise that it wasn't normal to feel this way. He also assumed that everyone saw the letters moving like he did. His Mum read about Irlen Syndrome and asked Tim what the letters were doing when he looked at his page. She was surprised at his answer but it led them to me where they were able to get help. Now Tim enjoys his reading and can read for as long as he wishes. No more sore eyes. For information ring me, Heather on 41571031

21.01.2022 Irlen lenses can help Acquired Brain Injury and headaches as well as reading problems. Contact Heather at the Bundaberg Neighbourhood Centre 41571031.

14.01.2022 Alex didn't want to even look at the page of his reader. His parents brought him for an Irlen assessment and found out that he was finding the page glarey. It didn't help that the letters were constantly moving. For an appointment ring Heather on 41571031

11.01.2022 IRLEN SYNDROME IS GENETIC! The parents of a little girl who was being assessed for Irlen Syndrome today could not believe the difference that the Over...lays made to her reading and her confidence. As we usually do, we asked her parents to look at the tasks and tell us if they experience any of the symptoms of Irlen. Her father has it! There is usually at least one parent who is experiencing symptoms because Irlen Syndrome is highly genetic. Research done in Australia in 2000 showed that if at least one parent has Irlen Syndrome, there is a 70-80% chance that their children will have it. They also found that if one child in a family has it, there is a 50-70% chance of their siblings having it.

08.01.2022 She read fluently with her coloured glasses. Her parents and I were thrilled at the difference. Without the glasses she saw letters moving and going blurry. After reading for a while her headache would start. Irlen Syndrome can be helped with the correct coloured lenses. To find out more ring Heather Rawlins on 41571031. Heather works at the Bundaberg Neighbourhood Centre, 111 Targo St.

07.01.2022 VISUAL PROCESSING DISORDER can cause the symptoms known as Irlen Syndrome. Visual processing is involved in EVERYTHING that we see and do because unless we have... a vision impairment, we use our eyes to send visual messages to our brain in virtually every activity that we are involved in. The symptoms known as Irlen Syndrome are wide-ranging, but can include a difficulty in judging distances when climbing stairs, playing sport, driving and parking vehicles and getting on and off escalators, or "falling over their own feet". Most people who experience depth perception issues either don't recognise them or, they just think that they are naturally "clumsy". Wearing Irlen Spectral Filters (as glasses) can adjust the "faulty" perception of distance. This makes it easier to hit a ball on the full, get on and off escalators and make it easier to move around safely. If you have a child that seems to be clumsy, walks into walls, tables etc., then it may be worth having an assessment to see if that is the result of Irlen Syndrome. #depthperception #cantjudgedistances #fallsoverhisownfeet #clumsy #canthitaballonthefull #missesballsonthefull #cantgetonandoffescalators #fallsover #visualprocessing #cantwalkupanddownstairs #perception #hastoholdonwhengoingupanddownstairs further information at www.irlendyslexia.com

05.01.2022 Talk to Heather at the Bundaberg Neighbourhood Centre about how many people with migraines have been helped or ring 41571031.

05.01.2022 Her mother cried and I was so pleased when this beautiful young girl read fluently when she put up the correct combination of coloured lenses to her eyes. Without the lenses she had to slowly work out each word but with them she could see the words easily. Irlen syndrome is not an eye sight problem, the lenses filter out some of the light frequency allowing the information to arrive in the brain without distortions. To find out more ring Heather on 41571031 or email [email protected]. Appointments can be made for Bundaberg neighbourhood Centre or Gin Gin.

02.01.2022 They say learning has nothing to do with vision... but if you can't see properly then how do you learn? Some children struggle to learn because they have poor e...yesight and need corrective lenses from the oprometrist. Once they get the glasses and can see clearly then their learning improves. Some children have trouble seeing clearly even though they have perfect eyesight. These children often have Irlen Syndrome, a visual processing dysfunction which causes distortions to the printed page making it difficult to distinguish the words. These children need specifically tinted lenses from an Irlen clinic to correct the distortions. Again once they can see clearly then they can go on to learn properly. #reading #learning #vision #colouredlenses #printmoves #dyslexia #optometry more information at www.aaic.org.au
