What you as a teacher can do to help your Irlen students even if you do not know who they are:

  • Do not wear distracting bold-striped blouses
  • Avoid using black markers on white dry-erase boards, especially if teaching LD students. Use a soft-brown or soft- gray colored board.
  • Print homework on gray paper instead of white, especially if teaching LD students
  • Go to my link (on your left) titled “Tips on what can be done to help Irlen clients in school”
  • Take a second look at students you or someone thinks are dealing with ADD or are somewhere in the spectrum of autism
  • Fight to get permission for students to be allowed to wear a cap with a brim to shield their eyes from fluorescent lighting
  • Turn off the fluorescent lights in your classroom, especially if you are a Special Ed teacher!
