(more) Thank you for your referral from Shoshana Dear Thank you for referring ______________ to our office for Irlen Services. As always I am greatly appreciative of your amazing support for irlen Testing. Please send copies of your IRPS cover sheet, 4 page symptom checklist, brain scans, relevant medical reports, vision exams, and educational testing if relevant by email or fax 443-460-2275. Your referral means so much to us and for the people whose lives will hopefully improve with Irlen Method and an accurate diagnosis of Irlen Syndrome. Irlen screenings and diagnostic testing, Irlen overlays, spectral filters, self awareness, environmental modifications, and reasonable accommodations add to our clients quality of life, decrease environmental and biological stressors, and improve daily functioning, learning, and working productivity. For those with sensory stress contributing to anxieties, depression, attention deficits and migraines, Irlen Spectral Filters can be a missing piece of remediation of an undiagnosed or misdiagnosed condition. Once stress is minimized, other interventions like tutoring, acupuncture, chiropractic, OT, SLP, PT, Vision Therapy, hyperbaric, nutritional, and immune system treatments can be maximized, achieve results quicker, and last longer Which can save your clients time and $. I could not reach and help the many people who need Irlen spectral filters without your help!! Clients and Irlen Screeners who refer other clients receive $35 credit towards my services or seminars for each referral who uses our services. They do not expire and can be used by any family members or as discounts for clients as well. Your referral receives a $50 discount on irlen Diagnostic testing, if they mention your name as the referral source. Screener Cluster Group Seminars support the many Irlen Certified Screeners and Pre-Screeners in our 6 state area ( VA, MD, WVA, DE, PA, & NJ). During meetings we review specialized testing procedures, additional interventions and new resources to add to your "tool" kit. Visit our new IRLEN MID-ATLANTIC SCREENERS FACEBOOK CLOSED GROUP for discussion with other Screeners and resources. Our next Irlen Screener Training and Irlen PASS Monthly Training monthly in Pikesville, MD at 6-9 PM and schedules can be found on our websites www.AOTSS.com & www.irlenVLCMD.com. Baltimore: TBS Reston, VA Amen Clinic: TBA Your location: You can obtain RECERTIFICATION CE credits by attending our trainings. Irlen Syndrome Awareness Week ISAW, in October each year, reaches millions worldwide, with activities in 47 countries , 27 states in the USA, and over the Internet. This has served as a powerful advocacy venue to educate professionals and consumers. Www.irlensyndrome.org and Irlen Foundation provide a wealth of free PowerPoint presentations, toolkits, a research packet, and screening forms on the website. Generous grants for research, as well as, client services for low income populations have been implemented as well. Call for applications. Irlen international research with the USA Military funded by the SemperFi Foundation has produced amazing results. The Cornell University research on Irlen Method is also available this year. We hope you can provide training and support to your networks. See Www.Irlensyndrome.org, www.irlen.com, www.irlenVLCMD.com, and our Facebook pages have lots of free information. Please call for any information you wish to share, to discuss testing results, and send testimonials of your clients successes as well ! I administered prescreenings during the last month at a day program for adults with aphasia and found 70% had irlen syndrome and were helped by environmental modifications (turn off fluorescents , wearing a sun visor, brain exercises for decreasing stress) and irlen colored overlays . Some will get funding for diagnostic testing and spectral filters thru one of the foundations irlen international works with. We are also administering the 4 page self test to a wide audience to find people with symptoms . One psychologist who works with ADD , found that over 70% of his clients show symptoms and over half the clients want to be screened for irlen Syndrome. Very exciting !!! Blessings for a year filled with health, joy, and success!
