Dyslexia Reading & Writing Kit | NDIS Visual Stress Aid

Create a calm, accessible learning environment with the Dyslexia Reading Overlay Kit. This comprehensive starter pack is a specialized piece of low-cost assistive technology designed to support NDIS participants with Dyslexia, Visual Stress (Meares-Irlen Syndrome), ADHD, or visual hypersensitivity.

For many neurodivergent individuals, black text on white paper can appear to move, blur, or glare (Visual Stress). The specific tint included in this kit filters light wavelengths to stabilize text and reduce contrast. Uniquely, this kit addresses both reading (with overlays and tracking rulers) and writing (with a specialized tinted notepad), providing a holistic solution for literacy challenges.

How This Resource Supports NDIS Participants

Stabilizing Text (Reading Fluency): The overlay and rulers reduce perceptual distortions. This stops words from "swimming," allowing the participant to read faster, longer, and with greater comprehension.

Supporting Focus (ADHD): The Duo Window Reading Ruler isolates a single line of text while blocking out surrounding words. This reduces visual clutter, helping users with ADHD or tracking difficulties maintain their place on the page without skipping lines.

Writing Comfort: Standard white paper can be blindingly bright for those with sensory sensitivities. The included Tinted Refill Pad reduces glare during writing tasks, minimizing headaches and eye strain associated with homework or administration.

Evidence-Based Support: Developed by Crossbow Education and assured by the British Dyslexia Association, this kit offers professional-grade tools that are recognized globally for their effectiveness in managing visual processing difficulties.
