Possibly try a desensitazation program if wearing the glasses is a sensory
issues. An occupational therapist trained in sensory processing disorder may be
able to help. Helen Irlen may have some ideas from her vast experience with
clients with autism.  www.irlen.com

For those of you who wear the filters do you also see that overlays work
for you too? I have a son (age 11) with autism and hyperlexia who has the
filters, but it is hard to get him to wear them. His 1/2 brother, who is now
19, had dyslexia and used the overlays in school in another state. The school
promoted it after we took him to an Irlen screener. Now he doesn't need them.
It worked for him.

Where I really need my son to focus is at school. The school underestimates his
potential for whatever reason. If anyone thinks this might work do you know
where I can get the overlays from.

Thank you,

April
