“To date, I have replied to queries that Irlen is different to color-blindness which is a vision problem. However, there can be a definite connection for some! Two students who are “color-blind” found that placing the selected Irlen overlays on the page helped one student identify correct colors. When doing the assessments, Bev found that both of these students could correctly identify colors when looking through the tinted lenses but without them, could not do so. One student remained only with red-green color difficulties but we devised a plan to help him “name” these colors even if he did not see them correctly. The other student needed no further help than her tinted lenses for the many colors which she had named incorrectly. This blew us all away!”

The correct identification of colors by his daughter was the key factor in convincing a skeptical father about the Irlen Method. He gave a testimonial at a public info session that night, inviting those who are skeptical to observe an assessment. I now include the naming of colors during my assessments as I would have missed this exciting success of Irlen tints except for Bonnie’s discovery

Thanks Bonnie!
