I'd say about 40% of students with SpLD have some viual disturnbances.
I always recommend assessment with an Intuitive Colorimeter to get either coloured overlays or tinted reading specs.
I don't offer specific support, but discuss with the student issues of lighting, glare from PC screen, techniques for changing screen background colour, approaches to reading large amounts of text etc.

Hi
I would be interested to hear from people who have students who have both
dyslexia and Irlen Syndrome,
what percentage of your students have both?
Do you offer specific support for Irlen's and if so what?
Thanks everyone
