Color and Technology.pdf Color filters, such as the Irlen filters and filter sets by NRSI and See It Right!, are low tech assistive technology tools which may help students with a variety of different disabilities see the text more accurately, focus for longer periods of time, and copy more accurately.

Color Comparisons.pdf This PDF of a PowerPoint Show is designed to show you the effects of different color filters, shown in color families, when they are placed over black text on a white background. Look for what color makes the text easiest for you to see and read -- and then find the color(s) which make it hardest for you.

Color Evaluation.pdf Use this form to collect data on a student's use of color during tool trials or an evaluation. The bottom half of the form consists of columns into which you can place tick marks as you listen to and watch students read with and without color filters.

Color Tendencies.pdf Take this quick quiz of color TENDENCIES seen in certain disability groups. You'll look at 6 examples of different color text and backgrounds and match each to disabilities which show these tendencies. When you think you have the correct answers, drop Judith Sweeney an email at jsweeney@onionmountaintech.com, and She'll share the answers with you!
