Irlen Institute for Perceptual and Learning Development
The Irlen Method is the only research-based method using colored overlays and filters. There are over 4,000 educators in school districts who have been trained, and millions of children use Irlen colored overlays. Helen Irlen discovered and created this method in 1980, and it is now being used in over 42 countries. Helen Irlen, MA, LMFT, is the nation’s leading expert in perceptually-based reading and learning difficulties.
The Irlen Method is non-invasive technology that uses colored overlays and filters to improve the brain’s ability to process visual information. It is the only method scientifically proven to successfully correct the processing problems associated with Irlen Syndrome.
This technology can improve reading fluency, comfort, comprehension, attention, and concentration while reducing light sensitivity. This is not a method of reading instruction. It is a color-based technology that filters out offensive light waves, so the brain can accurately process visual information.
