cKc Consultants is pleased to announce that Karen Lubrecht has been certified as a screener for Irlen Syndrome.
After training in Massachusetts and as part of her graduate work, Karen Lubrecht has received certification as an Irlen Syndrome screener and PASS Trainer. As a result, private screenings and workshops on the topic will be available to individuals, schools and industry.
Ms. Lubrecht was drawn to the study through an investigation of usability for website design and the ramifications for education. The thought that colored filters and overlays could assist with some learning disabilities, identified and unidentified, fascinated her. Her background in physics and education, has led to further investigation and attempts to identify and help those with the problem.
Irlen Syndrome, or Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome (SSS), is a perceptual problem. It can affect academic and work performance, concentration and behavior. The very complex condition can co-exist with identified learning-disabilities or be a stressor for individuals who credit other causes. Once identified, the Irlen Method uses specifically identified colored filters and overlays to reduce or eliminate the perception difficulties. The reflected or refracted color is critical.
Helen Irlen's Method is internationally acclaimed, and has been discussed in professional journals, covered on TV programs such as 60 minutes, ABC World News With Peter Jennings, NBC News and by other news media in the US and around the world.
