Maude Le Roux on Irlen Syndrome
(Visual Hypersensitivity Syndrome)

Since 1983, research has shown that the correct color improves reading rate, accuracy and comprehension. The correct color filters out offending wavelengths of light and allows the brain to accurately receive and process visual information. The Irlen Method has helped thousands of people worldwide.

Maude Le Roux and Janice Buckwalter are now the only certified diagnosticians for Irlen Syndrome in the Tri-state area. Come learn more about how this could possibly assist your child!

Come hungry as refreshments will be served throughout the presentation.
