Subject: Re: Problems at work Author: Keith Howard [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:28:21 01/02/09 Fri In reply to: k 's message, "Problems at work" on 16:45:12 12/02/08 Tue Hi Shane I have a the similar problem, i found that i had dyslexia at 55. I have to write and read a sermon for every sunday, plus copying it to power piont so everyone can see my mistakes on the screen, I use a few things to try and help, 1. is to get my wife tor read it, but this sometimes cause a bit of an aurgement, 2 print it using my laptop on a yellow backgroung using comic sans font size 16 with 1.5 line spacing then if i think it is right change it to the acceptable format, 3 print it out and read it aloud what i have written, but here again i have to be careful as not to put words in that are not there, and getting the pauses in the right place to get the right meaning. Hope this helps. Keith [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Problems at work Author: Dr Joan Brien [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:55:51 01/02/09 Fri Try typing or writing the report on coloured paper instead of white. there is a form of dyslexia which is a visual perception problem, and the white paper causes distortions of words when reading or writing. this form of dyslexia is caused by Irlen Syndrome/Scotopic Sensitivity and is treated by using coloured overlays when reading (followed by filters worn as glasses) but the colours are specific to individuals. I would suggest starting with blue paper and see whether it makes it easier for you to read and/or write. Some colours that may or may not help are pink, light green or cream.It is a matter of experimenting and seeing which one makes it easier for you. If you find that it helps, then you should consider finding an Irlen Diagnostician in your area and go along for an assessment.
