Free Indeed Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Hoping someone here can help me. My nephew is in public school. He was in a special reading class using a peach overlay sheet to help him read until this year. This year the school moved him out of that class and took away his peach sheet. He is failing. His parents went to the school and asked to buy one for him to use, but the school refused. I have no idea why or really what it is- it's supposed to help him focus on the words better. Can someone's help me find a peach sheet so I can buy 2 or 3 for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lecka Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 This sounds like Irlen syndrome. I think maybe google that. Is there any way the parent can contact his previous teacher for more information? I think that would be the way to get the same item he is used to. Otherwise I think it might be trial and error to find what works for him. Another thing is he may be sensitive to lighting, like fluorescent lighting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Indeed Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 Yes that's it! Thank you. I will copy that and send it to them. I have never heard of it, but the school isn't being much help- and I don't understand why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) Have they requested (in writing) an evaluation? Start with that. Why on earth would they refuse a sheet of colored plastic? Ridiculous! Expect delays on everything, which is why it's important to start the process in writing. Research on Wrights Law what the timetables are and hold them to it!
