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

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

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?

Well, they underestimate his potential, or they just don't want to teach him. 

They are interested in his Irlen filters, but worried about them costing

$400.00. He won't leave them on.  I think they would be glad to try the

overlays, but I will need to purchase them.

If you go to www.bryantschools.org and select Bethel Middle School and hit the

GO button.  I think it is in the top right corner.  You can read about the

school.  Bryant is a small town, but this one school is in a rural area

neighborhood.  I was visiting the school in May and it was odd to see a city

tour bus come to the school.  It was full of architects and engineers who had

come to tour the "green school."  Our other green school you can look at from

the website is Hurricane Creek Elementary.  Arkansas is called The Natural

State, so I guess they are trying to be true to our motto. lol.

My son's school is actually going to purchase the overlays.  They do good things

like that, but then they are trying to put him in CBI.
