Screener
training courses are designed
for teachers, senior teaching assistants, educational psychologists,
speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, and specialists
in behavioural difficulties.
Irlen screener training provides the professional with the ability
to diagnose and assess the extent of an individual suffers from Irlen
syndrome.
Research shows that 46% of the those Dyslexia, ADD/HD, Asperger’s
syndrome, Autism and other learning difficulties, are able to benefit
from Irlen colour technology. The screener learns to help the client
in more ways than quickly choosing a colour or combination of colours
which will eliminate distortions on the printed page. This is not
possible until three separate sub tests are carried out which rate
reading difficulties, reactions to the printed page and an analysis
of visual distortions from test diagrams. Only after this will the
screener provided an overlay be able to offer future strategies to
help the client understand the reason for their difficulties and how
to achieve their potential.
An Irlen screener is an educational professional able to diagnose
and treat an
Irlen Syndrome which is a recognised disability according to the 1995
Disability Discrimination Act case S100909/02, Screener training.
