Tim,

Thank you very much for your detailed reply to "Confused Mum." I was
diagnosed last year and I am at the end of my university studies. My diagnosis
with Irlen and Dyslexia came very late in my Master Degree studies for me and I
am struggling with relearning things using my new study methods with the Irlen
glasses, months away from a major state board exam. It is very slow going but
the changes are helping...slowly but surely.

Wrap around glasses (not flat glasses due to too much glare and outside
light), special light bulbs, reading and writing on colored paper only, having
people orally quiz me on the study materials, etc. are all changes that are
helping my studies. You mention "programs to help picture thinkers plan essays,
and ones that will read out text on the screen." Could you please tell me more
about these items, specifically reading the text on the screen. Can they be
purchased by the general public? Did your university provide you with your
personal support tutor?

Also, have you, or anyone else in this group, tried Irlen Colored Contact
Lenses? How do they feel using them? Do you think they are beneficial like the
glasses, better or worse?

Thank you,
Rachel
