    Read this if your child has trouble reading!!
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2011*

My son has had trouble learning to read since kindergarten, even though we knew he was very bright.  We had his eyes checked, they were fine.  We learned about visual processing issues, and spent several thousand dollars on vision therapy.  This made a vast improvement and he was able to read, but in the 8th grade still struggled with spelling and anything involving writing.  I finally asked for him to be screened for dyslexia, even though all previous evaluations were negative, because he kept jumbling letters when he wrote.  First, thank God, the school screened him for Irlen Syndrome and sent him home with colored overlays to use when reading.  All of a sudden he could read fluently, accurately, and as fast as I could.  We had him fitted with Irlen lenses, and a whole new world has opened up for him.  We never realized he had no depth perception and an extremely narrow field of vision.  His writing is even better - with the lenses he can remember what he has written and doesn't have to constantly reread what he is writing. I am simply amazed that colored lenses make such a difference for him (the right color, at least).  Reading this book has opened my eyes and broken my heart at the same time - I never realized how profound his visual processing problems were, and assumed that the vision therapy had fixed all that.  This book raised questions it never occurred to us to ask - what do you see when you try to read, do the words stay still, do you get headaches or do your eyes water when you read?  Anyone whose obviously intelligent child struggles with reading needs to read this book!!  Especially when they seem to have ADD symptoms at school but not at home.

    Pleased with The Irlen Revolution
  

*by V***K on Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2012*

The Irlen Revolution is Helen Irlen's second book, following Reading by the Colors and its revision in 2005.  In this second book, Helen Irlen takes the reader through the many discoveries and developments she has made as she continues to devote her life's work to helping children and adults with visual perceptual difficulties.  The Irlen Revolution discusses Irlen Syndrome, a visual perceptual processing condition comprised of a myriad of symptoms to varying degrees.  Given its invasiveness, Irlen symptomatology can be part of reading difficulties, ADD, ADHD, autism, light sensitivity, and certain medical and psychological conditions, such as migraines, light-sensitive epilepsy, traumatic brain injuries, anxiety disorders and depression.  This inability of one's brain to accurately process visual information can cause or exacerbate many problems.  The intervention -- Irlen filters -- are colored tints applied to lenses.  These specifically determined colors, or layers of colors, alter the visual processing occurring in the brain by screening out certain wavelengths of light.  Scans of the brain show that after Irlen filters have been worn, brain activity becomes more normalized, so that it is better able to process visual information.  The Irlen Revolution discusses relevant research in a clear and practical writing style, as the intent of the book is to be a readily available resource.  Twenty-five years ago Helen Irlen's research was jumpstarted with her initial discovery that not everyone sees letters and words in the same manner.  Her uncanny knack for questioning the most basic assumptions about reading "When you read are the words clear, stable, and is it comfortable?" has taken this skilled researcher on a journey of revelation, with her most recent discoveries and developments shared this latest text, The Irlen Revolution.

    If anyone you know has reading problems, please read this book!
  

*by W***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2013*

I've been an Irlen Screener for a little over 5 years. As a GED instructor, I test so many people who have lost faith in their ability to read as well as others. When I'm able to help them see the page normally, and start to fall in love with reading, it's one of the most wonderful feelings. I truly believe if we had required screenings, by people who are certified to do so, many of my students would have graduated instead of quitting and ending up in my classes.I really enjoyed reading into Helen Irlen's mind in this book, and learning how she discovered the colored overlays and lenses.  Her passion for reaching out and helping the millions who have Irlen Syndrome just shines out of the book!As the mother of a rolling young man who was mis-diagnosed in 6th grade, and struggled until age 25, when we tested him and found out he had Irlen Syndrome, I will be eternally grateful for the research that helped him and many others. The difference in my son is almost miraculous, the difference in my students is just as amazing.  Please read this and get help. It's worth it!
