Irlen Syndrome testing

Irlen Syndrome, also known as Perceptual/Visual Dyslexia and Scotopic Sensory Syndrome, is a reading and perceptual disorder affecting reading ability and comprehension. Symptoms for Irlen Syndrome may include:

  • Slow and inefficient reading
  • Poor comprehension
  • Low attention span and poor listening ability
  • Strain or fatigue whilst reading

Irlen Syndrome alters the reader’s ability to read printed pages, often reading the same page or sentence several times over before comprehending the content. In some cases, Irlen Syndrome can affect the individual’s perception of their entire physical environment.

Read the Lines staff are qualified Irlen screeners specialising in detecting Irlen Syndrome in children and adults. To arrange a screening, complete our enquiry form.
