I asked Helen Irlen “Comment on the role of heredity with Irlen Syndrome”
I said “I know from experience that our son, Ryan, inherited it from me. Do you know if mothers can transmit it as well?”
Her response: “The majority of the individuals we see at Irlen Institute/Clinics have Irlen Syndrome as a result of heredity. Individuals can acquire symptoms similar to Irlen Syndrome and benefit from the Irlen Method for various reasons: TBI, head injury, concussion, whiplash, autoimmune diseases, etc. Please check the “Who We Can Help” section of www.irlen.com for a partial list of these conditions. Although Irlen Syndrome is usually an inherited condition, it can be inherited from either the male or the female. The condition is not sex linked and all research indicates that it occurs equally in males and females.” One study of 751 children with Irlen Syndrome found that 84% had at least one parent with Irlen Syndrome. This leads me to expect that when I find a possible Irlen client I have probably found a family that experiences similar symptoms indicating
Irlen Syndrome. Do you see traits within your family indicating that you may share this with other family members? Perhaps someone was diagnosed with dyslexia, ADHD, Asperger’s Syndrome, or there may be symptoms of migraine headaches.

The Benefit of Treatment of Irlen Syndrome is Illustrated by a SPECT Brainscan taken by Dr. Daniel Amen in California
Dr. Daniel Amen is world famous. This Spect scan shows before and after wearing Irlen filter lenses.
The Amen Clinics have amassed the worlds largest database of brain scans related to behavior, more than 21,000. The brain is involved in everything we do. The clinics include screening for Irlen Syndrome in their assessments and testing. Dr. Robert Dobrin describes below the links he has found between Irlen Syndrome and a range of conditions. This is further evidence that Irlen Syndrome needs to be better understood by professionals and that testing for Irlen Syndrome needs to be incorporated into standard testing procedures.
“The Irlen Syndrome represents an intriguing and controversial spectrum of symptoms that remain invisible to most clinicians. During 32 months at the Amen Clinic, I have confirmed diagnosis of approximately 210 patients with Irlen Syndrome.”
