1. 74% of low scoring readers and 15% of high scoring readers have IRLEN SYNDROME. (Miller, 1984 (The New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 317, No. 27, Dec., 1987)
2. 50% of people with dyslexia have IRLEN SYNDROME. (Whiting, 1985, Robinson & Miles, 1987)
3. 93% of a group of 465 people wearing IRLEN FILTERS for a 12-month period reported that the filters had been helpful or very helpful and had provided a definite improvement in reading fluency, concentration and comprehension. (Whiting and Robinson, 1988)
4. The same group followed up after six years continued to report that these same benefits were maintained, refuting the possibility of a placebo effect. (Whiting, Robinson, Parrot 1994) (Australian Journal of Remedial Education).
5. In a group of 127 school children, 75% did not have maximum stereopsis (depth perception); 80% of this group experienced immediate improvement in stereopsis when using IRLEN FILTERS. In addition, 90% of the students’ teachers noted improvements in reading and in attitude towards school and there was a significant reduction in headaches, migraine, and eyestrain. (Fricker, 1989)
6. Job Performance Survey administered to 136 employed people with IRLEN FILTERS; research showed a significant change in performance levels; amount of work completed 92%; absentee factors 91%; productivity 94%; greater concentration 91%; quality of work 85%; job satisfaction 79%; speed of work 82%.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackIt’s a shame Irlen screening isn’t a normal part of the screening process in schools. I carry out class screenings on all the year 4 pupils at our school it is surprising how many children that are not classed as special needs are detected.
