Irlen Boston is in its 25th year of helping children and adults. As Irlen Screeners and Irlen Diagnosticians we are trained to do an initial assessment to determine weather or not a client has Irlen Syndrome (previously known as Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome or sometimes called Visual Stress), and we are the only Diagnostic clinic in the New England area to do Irlen Diagnostic for Irlen Spectral Filters. Irlen Syndrome causes IRLEN SYNDROME IS A PERCEPTUAL PROCESSING DISORDER
It is not an optical problem. It is a problem with the brain’s ability to process visual information. This problem tends to run in families and is not currently identified by standardized educational, psychological, optometric, or medical tests. This problem can manifest itself differently for each individual. Irlen Syndrome is not remediable and is often a lifetime barrier to learning and performance. SIGNS OF IRLEN SYNDROME
