Walnut Creek Campus

This two-day training seminar is to certify participants as screeners to assess students for this visual-perceptual problem, known as SSS. Participants will learn how to administer the Irlen Reading Perceptual Scale (IRPS) to identify perceptual symptoms related to SSS, and the use of color overlays to remediate these problems. For professionals, this is an additional tool to help address another "piece of the puzzle" in reading intervention.
