I’m late to this letter and not sure, Ally, if you will get this. I worked my entire career in public education and learning disabilities always a part of my certification. If you have never heard of colored overlays, I suggest you pursue it. There were a few students I tested for it that found it a miracle. Part of their disability in reading was spatial. It was introduced to me by a brilliant optometrist that worked with a few teachers. He taught me a lot of things with ocular muscle balance, tracking, and crossing the midline.
I am firm in testifying that there is no excuse valid for not finding the correct method of teaching a child with learning disabilities to unlock the code of decoding to mastery.
Kids that were sensitive would literally jump up when I put a colored overlay over text when testing them. They would exclaim different things such as “Miss, the letters just stopped moving.” Or, “My eyes can go straight across now!”
Amaze. A single sheet of colored, transparent film made all the difference.
Thanks for this. I had actually heard of an application of this from a friend of mine who is the principal tuba player for an orchestra in a southern state. He prints his music up on paper that is in the muted orange to red color spectrum to combat his dyslexia. Once he learns it, he’s able to use traditionally printed music.
I’m going to share this with him. He’s active on several fora and I wonder if a screen cover in that spectrum might help his speed with typing.
