Overcoming dyslexia and other reading disabilities through the Irlen method. Twenty years ago, educational psychologist Helen Irlen was engaged in research studying methods of helping adults with chronic learning problems. Helen Irlen developed and patented a series of colored lenses that when worn by people who suffer from Scotopic Sensitivity/Irlen Syndrome (SS/IS) either improves or eliminates their perceptual-based reading difficulties and physical discomforts. This book explains the syndrome, associated symptomology, and the solution to this often undiagnosed difficulty. For millions of children and adults who suffer from dyslexia and other related problems, Reading by the Colors will provide the first real solution that works simply and effectively. Library Journal Through the Irlen Method, certain adults and children with chronic learning problems can improve their reading abilities, according to a study by Irlen, an educational psychologist. Her treatment employs a series of colored overlays and lenses which remove certain obstacles from the reading process, thereby permitting those who suffer from Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome (SSS) to improve or eliminate their sight-reading problems. Irlen's book is the first to describe, in lay terms, what the treatment consists of, how it works, and what its limitations are. She includes a color-keyed self-test, as well as a list of clinics which offer SSS screening and treatment. Her book is recommended for all types of libraries.--Samuel T.
