Stress is so much a part of our daily functioning that problems (such as maintaining attention, emotional balance, productivity and focus) may not be immediately apparent to learning specialists, doctors or therapists. Because these professionals are not trained to understand the complex relationship between the brain, sensory systems, stress and daily functioning, the result is often a misdiagnosis and a continuously frustrated individual.
If you have or your student has accepted stress, migraines, nausea, fatigue or glare sensitivities as “the norm,” we’re here to teach you how to adapt your environment so that it minimizes and eliminates preventable stressors while promoting wellness and maximum productivity – for free.
Reassessing “The Norm”

Could Your Daily Learning Stressors or Headaches Be Due to a Misdiagnosis?
There’s a vast percentage of learning challenged adults suffering from undiagnosed or misdiagnosed scotopic sensitivity syndrome. Despite the extensive and credible research supporting this, many people fail to realize the following:
Irlen Syndrome impacts over 50% of people with dyslexia, ADD/ADHD, autism & brain injuries
Misdiagnosis can follow an untreated child into adulthood & last a lifetime, causing stress, disability & limitation
Misdiagnosis can exacerbate & worsen symptoms of depression, bipolar disorder, dementia, brain injuries, strokes, low vision, glare sensitivities, immune system diseases & more
Symptoms could’ve been remedied immediately in 1 or 2 testing sessions conducted by trained professionals for proper diagnosis & low-cost interventions during the early years (or after a condition that exacerbated symptoms)
Irlen Trainings are available in 47 countries, 27 U.S. states, locally in the Baltimore/DC area & via the Internet (for over 37 years)
Irlen Syndrome has been featured on 60 Minutes, ABC News, Dr Amen’s PBS TV show, Dave Asprey’s BulletProof Executive show, Harvard Medical Journal, National Geographic & various professional research journals & local news stations worldwide
