Individuals with Irlen syndrome put more energy and effort into reading because they are ineffective readers who see the printed page differently from the 'good' reader. Disorientation from print or from white background causes fatigue and discomfort and more importantly, limits the length of time these individuals can read and maintain comprehension.
When irlen syndrome is undetected, people are viewed as underachievers with poor behavioral attitudes or motivational problems, And they often labelled as 'stupid, or thick'. Some diagnosed as having dislexia readers problems or various developmental delays are actually suffering from irlen syndrome.
It is not a learning difficulty by itself However, it is very common is dyslexics, and dispraxics.
The irlen website is really good becaause you can change the colour of the background to make it more easy for dislexics to read. I will also try remember this and aply it to my book that i make.
Also I have decided to keep the existing logo from the 'British dislexic assosication' as it makes it better if its an existing thing with a cause instead of a made up produce. However the logo is really ugly i think so maybe I will change it to make it look a little more modern and reflective of my own design work.
