This carefully researched work unveils an invisible barrier that may affect 10 million American children in private and public schools who experience reading difficulties. Ms. Stone provides direction and ideas for both parents and professionals to help find a solution for those who may be labeled as underachievers.
The Light Barrier is a "must read" for every educator, pediatrician, and eye care professional who deals with students, of any age, who are struggling with classroom learning.
She has validated what I have been hearing repeatedly in my years of working with both the dyslexic and Irlen/scotopic population.

This readable book is a "must read" for parents, teachers, and other professionals concened with the education and welfare of children. It also has implications for the workforce where employees suffer from light sensitivity in the form of headache and fatigue, lowered productivity, and absences from work.

This is a well researched, balanced presentation of an intervention that has proven itself with thousands around the world who suffer from light based sensitivity.

This book explains how lighting affects our lives and our children's lives. It explains why we can be suffering from migraine headaches, not able to catch balls, have reading problems (poor comprehension, eye strain, difficulty in seeing the printed page correctly, become fidgety, etc).

This is a book that all educators, school administrators, physicians, those in the field of optometry, social workers, prison personnel, and especially politicians should read. An even more important group of people who should read this book are parents. You are the ones that can make things happen for your children.

When you discover how lighting can affect your life, you will certainly want to know what to do about it. This book tells everything you need to know about how to change your life if you or someone you know is light sensitive.

This is a thought-provoking book. The subject is a complicated phenominon that should be examined by peer review in similar, less anecdotal evidence. As a graduate engineer and a long-time photographer, I am aware of some of the properties of light itself as perceived by humans, and view this subject with considerable interest. One of my grandchildren has benefited substantially from Irlen prescribed glasses. Thus,I look forward to future examination of this phenominon.

The Light Barrier is a comprehensive book about light based reading problems. As an individual who suffers from Irlen Syndrome, I can relate to the personal information Rhonda shares about her family's struggle to discover the source of her children's learning difficulties. As a professional providing services to others who suffer from Irlen Syndrome, I highly recommend that others read this book not only as a source of factual information, but as source of validation for those experiencing similar challenges.

A comprhensive book on Scotopic Sensitivity Irlen Synbdrome. As a retired special ed teacher who is involved in helping adults and children through this method, I think Rhonda has done an excellent job of outlining the benefits of this treatment and realistically dealing with the controversy surrounding it. It works and she tells us so and even why.

This book tells of the problems that children and adults are having and the difficult time they have finding a solution to the problem. The world want to put the everyone on drugs with all the side effects, without realizing there is a non-invasive way of dealing and eliminating the problem. Rhonda Stone does an incredible job writing about her own experiences with her kids and the ordeals they had to go through to finally find a solution.
I too have Irlen Syndrome and boy has the technology helped me.

Great job Rhonda.
