Factual AND Important,
By Kitkat "Kitkat" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Light Barrier: Understanding the Mystery of Irlen Syndrome and Light-based Reading Difficulties (Paperback)
It is a sad state of affairs when medical doctors and reading experts "pretend" that dyslexia can only be caused by a failure to pronounce words because they don't yet know how to properly test children for visual processing problems. Visual processing problems are REAL and the research that documents their existence is consistently ignored--hurting millions of children throughout the world. This book lists study after study that documents visual processing problems and color as an appropriate intervention. The American Optometric Association even recently changed its opinion on color to reflect that it DOES benefit some individuals with reading problems. Any one who would dismiss the physical properties of light (our brains know them as color, but really it is all about wavelengths and particles) as relevant to reading and physical comfort obviously is ignorant about physics and simply doesn't "get it." Poor them! They'd rather we live in the "dark ages" (forgive the pun). Way to go, Rhonda Stone! I have light sensitivity, too. It's about time someone wrote about it.
