The Color Connection -- Light Sensitivity & Visual Processing May Be Keeping Your Adult Students from Succeeding

Session Description: Did you know that more than half of the adults who struggle with reading have problems with light sensitivity, glare, contrast, attention and concentration, resulting from distorted perception of print? Many of you may have heard about the research based Irlen Method which uses colored overlays and other classroom modifications to improve reading. This is not a method of reading instruction. It is a color-based technology that filters out offensive light waves, so the brain can accurately process visual information. In this webinar you will learn to recognize the symptoms of Irlen Syndrome, understand the mind-body-learning connection, and learn about modifications and classroom accommodations that will help to overcome these problems that create barriers to literacy.

Presenter: Helen L. Irlen, MA, LMFT, Executive Director Irlen Institute International HQ, PPS Credentialed School Psychologist, Educational Therapist, Adult Learning Disability, Specialist, Board Certified Professional Counselor, Licensed Therapist. Ms Irlen is an internationally recognized educator, researcher, therapist, scholar and expert in the area of visual-perceptual processing problems. She is the author of Reading by The Colors: A Piece of the Puzzle, and IRLEN REVOLUTION: A Guide to Changing Your Perception and Your Life.
