For one in every six, this problem is a result of a condition called Irlen Syndrome--the inability of the brain to process certain light waves or colors. Symptoms can include headaches and stomachaches when reading, sensitivity to light, poor sports performance, inability to focus, clumsiness, and low self-esteem.
This book clearly explains what the signs of Irlen Syndrome are. It provides a questionnaire designed to alert parents to what behavior to watch for in their child. It offers easy reading exercises to help determine the nature of a child's reading problem. It includes easy-to-follow modifications you can make immediately to ease your child's symptoms and discomfort.
