You know your child better than anyone.
You watch them stare at the same line over and over. They lose their place. They rub their eyes, complain of headaches, or say the words seem to "move" on the page. Reading homework turns into a nightly battle — not because they aren't trying, but because something is getting in the way.
As a parent, you notice. You always do.
What many families don't realise is that these struggles can be signs of Irlen Syndrome — a visual-processing condition that affects how the brain interprets what the eyes see. It's often mistaken for attention issues, low motivation, or "just being a slow reader," when in fact it's a treatable perceptual difficulty.
If you or someone you know experiences headaches, light sensitivity, reading difficulties, or visual discomfort, it's worth taking a few minutes to complete our free Irlen self-test:
