What's the difference between Dyslexia and Irlen Syndrome?
Dyslexia is a learning disorder involving difficulty reading due to problems identifying speech sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words. In other words difficulty ‘sounding out’ words when reading and discriminating the individual sounds in words to help with spelling.

Irlen Syndrome is a visual processing difficulty due to incorrect processing of light by the brain that results in difficulty perceiving the words on the page and sensitivity to the brightness of the white page. Words often move, change or blur. Whole sentences can wave and individual letters can move so the letters are read in the wrong order.
