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.

I wear Irlen lenses and also use the overlays. My diagnostician told me that
some people need the Irlen lenses and overlays for reading. You can order
overlays from the Irlen website. Is the school unsupportive of his use of
overlays?
