Do any of you have any thoughts on the use of coloured overlays for use by dyslexic people? I have found that for a large percentage of the people who try the overlays aan initial improvement in clarity and stability is seen, but only for a small percentage does this continue to be the case over six months or so. Obviously it's great that some people are helped by this but why or how does it work, and why not for everyone if for some.
I have been mulling over the idea of trying a typoscope type of system for some children who find that the whole page of print is moving/wobbling, or for those who experience a line of print shifting horizontally, causing tracking problems. I wonder whether a typoscope with the appropriate colour filter combined would be feasible?
What do other countries' 'health authorities' make of the whole colours- for-dyslexia topic?
