​

IRLEN Screening

 

The Irlen Method is a non-invasive technology that uses coloured overlays and filters to improve the brain’s ability to process visual information.  It is the only method scientifically proven (over 54 research papers have been published in peer-reviewed journals showing significant changes in reading rate, accuracy, and comprehension) to successfully correct the processing problems associated with Irlen Syndrome.
 

The cornerstone of the Irlen Method is its precision-tinted coloured overlays and filters. This technology can improve reading fluency, comfort, comprehension, attention, and concentration while reducing light sensitivity. This is not a method of reading instruction. It is a colour-based technology that filters out offensive light waves, so the brain can accurately process visual information.

Physiotherapy Assessment

​

When you bring your child to one of our paediatric physiotherapists, you can expect a longer appointment duration than other practices because we want to make sure your child receives a thorough assessment. After all, all aspects of a child’s development are interlinked.  Some children take some time to ‘warm up’, and don’t want to rush your child if they take a little time to warm up – we will get a better idea of your child’s abilities and needs if they are happy and engaged, rather than anxious or upset.

​

During your child’s physiotherapy appointment we:

​

• Assess your child’s motor and overall development using our clinical observation skills, special measures, and specific hands-on assessment techniques

• Assess their motor milestones

• Assess unusual patterns to move

• Assess any difficulty with motor skills, such as jumping/hopping or ball skills

• Assess if they are clumsy or uncoordinated etc.

• On the whole our Physiotherapist identifies if your child is doing well, what they are having difficulty with, and why they are having those difficulties.

​

Please book an appointment with our Physiotherapist for a Consultation and an Assessment.
