There is a specific screening test for the appropriate colour, which then supplies coloured acetates for reading printed material - various systems are in use from the simple IOO one through to rather expensive versions. IOO supply the coloured overlays quite cheaply, if you are trained in their usage. What we do here is to place all our documents onto our intranet and leave students to print whatever colour they like, using their Disabled Student Allowance for papers and printing = far more manageable for us, and it empowers the students!

[mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Helen Williams Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2007 12:59 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: dyslexic students - Coloured paper or coloured acetate? We currently provide different colour paper copies for student who have dyslexia and have a preference for specific colour (blue, pink and yellow currently being used). It makes it complicated as we do have a high number of students with dyslexia, and it has been suggested that students could or should use coloured acetate with white paper as an alternative which also has the advantage that it can also be used with books. I just wondered what other institutions used and if acetate is an acceptable alternative to coloured paper if anyone could recommend anywhere we could obtain this from.
