Colored Reading Overlays (6 Colours) | NDIS Dyslexia & Visual Stress Aid

Transform reading from a struggle into a success with these Colored Reading Overlays. This simple yet highly effective piece of low-cost assistive technology is designed to support NDIS participants with Dyslexia, Irlen Syndrome (Visual Stress), ADHD, or Autism.

For many people, the high contrast of black text on bright white paper causes "visual stress." Words may appear to move, blur, or wash out, leading to eye strain, headaches, and reading fatigue. These tinted overlays act as a filter, reducing the glare and changing the contrast to a level the brain can process more easily.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

Alleviating Visual Stress (Irlen Syndrome): By filtering out specific wavelengths of light, these overlays stabilize the text. This stops words from "swimming" or "jumping" on the page, allowing for smoother, continuous reading.

Improving Reading Fluency (Dyslexia): Reducing visual distortions helps the user track lines better. This increases reading speed and comprehension, supporting educational goals and workplace participation.

Reducing Sensory Overload (Autism/ADHD): The overlays dampen the harsh glare of white paper, which can be visually overstimulating. This helps maintain focus and attention for longer periods without exhaustion.

Personalized Support: Every brain is different. The sets include 6 distinct colours (Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Pink, Orange), allowing the participant to test and find the specific hue that works best for their visual processing needs.
