Sound frequencies 🤩

10/18/2023

People with Irlen Syndrome are especially affected by artificial light sources like fluorescent and LED lights. These types of artificial light sources tend to have dramatic spikes at specific points along the visual spectrum, unlike natural light which makes a smooth curve. Irlen brains don't like these spikes! They cause more discomfort and difficulty functioning for people with Irlen Syndrome.

Happy Irlen Awareness Week!

Hi Susan. He’s doing really well with them. He really likes the color & wears them very happily :). His teacher from last year had asked about them/their purpose since they aren’t prescription but she said she definitely noticed a much more calm energy with him when he wears them. He still says they help him see the letters on the page more clearly & that stuff “stops wiggling around” when he wears them. Feel free to use his picture if you’d like, though I’d still like to send you one with him outside in natural lighting. Here’s the one I have for now:

About Us

5 Senses Learning is a non-profit corporation, dedicated to providing specialized services for students who struggle with the traditional classroom approach for learning to read. Each individual to small group session is delivered in-person in a classroom setting or through live lessons via web conferencing. Our students are assessed through authentic, individualized, survey-analysis assessments over 5 sessions, in order to obtain an accurate knowledge of each student’s strengths and weaknesses. This allows us to provide individualized goal charts and ensure careful placement in groups with peers of their same level and learning style when possible.

After students complete the assessment process, they then participate in an 8-week Reading Intervention Diagnostic Course that consists of 16 group sessions with lessons aimed to meet each student’s goal chart. Students may then continue to participate in additional reading intervention courses and/or sessions.

Our teachers design individualized, weekly SMILA© lesson plans using continuous authentic assessments of each student to ensure automaticity with the sequential steps for reading development. These lesson plans are then delivered through in-person and/or live individualized group lessons.

Each intensive SMILA© lesson that students take part in will consist of specific features that cater to each student’s growth in reading based upon the methodical sequence for reading automaticity. SMILA© lessons are structured around a systematic approach starting with the smallest unit in reading and advancing to more difficult features after automaticity with the previous element in the reading sequence. In addition, our teachers participate in weekly collaboration meetings with our SMILA© Therapists, to discuss each student’s weekly progress. All of our teachers have been trained and certified through SMILA©.

**SMILA© is an evidenced based, multisensory training that is certified through the International Multisensory Structured Language Education Council.
