There are a number of different ways to know if you have a form of learning disability called Irlen Syndrome. One of the most common ways is to complete a simple online test. This online test can show you if you have dyslexia, dysgraphia, or both, as well as determine if you have a form of dyslexia that may be related to your difficulty with reading.

Irlen syndrome is an auditory processing disorder (APD) that can cause difficulties with reading, spelling, and other language skills, as well as academic performance.

The most well-known symptom of Irlen Syndrome is a strong, consistent preference for a dark background when reading. While this preference may be obvious to you, it’s important to consider that many children and adults with this disorder are unaware of their condition or how to compensate for it. If you’re unsure whether or not you have this disorder, you should talk to a qualified professional.

Some people with Irlen syndrome describe their difficulty with auditory perception as tinnitus or sound sensitivity.

If you have difficulty following a conversation in a noisy room or if you have to turn up the TV or stereo to hear what someone is saying, you may have a form of dyslexia called dyscalculia. Although dyslexia is not brain damage, it often involves difficulty with other learning processes and is commonly associated with reduced auditory perception.

If you have a family member with Irlen syndrome, you may notice some of these characteristics in yourself.

It’s important to remember that you may not have all the symptoms of the condition, and you may have difficulty reading in any situation. Having a learning disability is not an indication of having a form of dyslexia. If you suspect that you may have dyslexia or a form of dyslexia and have difficulty reading, you should talk to your child’s school about accommodations in the classroom.

If you have difficulty with reading, spelling or writing, these are all signs that you may have Irlen syndrome.

If you have difficulty reading, spelling or writing, and do not appear to be learning disabled, you may have Irlen Syndrome. Some people with this condition have an exceptionally high sensitivity to even moderate amounts of background noise, or to flickering lights. Low-energy tints of coloured lenses may help to make reading easier, as may some types of software.

If you have any of these symptoms, it may be useful to see a specialist.

If you have the symptoms of dyslexia and/or hyperlexia, it’s likely you have a form of specific learning difficulty called dyslexia, which is a type of learning disability. There are at least 40 different types of dyslexia, and some people have more than one type. If you have dyslexia, but don’t have any other symptoms of dyslexia, you may have a form of dyslexia called specific word learning difficulty (SWLD). These people have difficulty learning to read and spell the names of common objects, animals, and plants. They are similar to dyslexia but have no problems reading and spelling words in context.

There are tests that can be used to determine if you have Irlen syndrome.

There are tests that can be used to determine if you have the condition. One of these tests involves the use of a computer. The test is called the “Synaptic Tonic Stimulation” test. In this test, you’ll use a small computer game to determine if you have mild or moderate to severe difficulty with reading. The test is non-invasive and painless.

An audiologist or ENT doctor can perform tests to determine if you have difficulty hearing sounds.

If you have difficulty reading in a normal classroom setting or have difficulty understanding the conversation of others, it may be a good idea to talk to your doctor about an evaluation for Irlen syndrome. This type of hearing loss is often associated with difficulties understanding written language, and tests can help determine whether this is the cause of your hearing loss.

Conclusion

People with suspected or confirmed diagnosis of Irlen Syndrome tend to have difficulty reading and spelling. They often have to read and write using the backs of the letters because they have trouble recognizing the shapes of the letters. They can also understand a lot of information when it is presented visually.
