Who Can Benefit from Using Our Tools?
- Children, teens and adults of all ages & abilities
- Also, persons suspected/diagnosed with ADHD (attention deficit disorder), where focus & concentration are daily challenges
- In addition, persons suspected/diagnosed with dyslexia, a language-based learning disability that makes reading very difficult & time-consuming
- Also, individuals with some vision issues (impaired, limited or low vision, convergence insufficiency, etc.)
- Readers with autism, especially with co-morbidities such as ADHD, dyslexia, SPD & other LD (learning disabilities)
- In addition, emergent readers challenged with decoding words (breaking down words into phonemes)
- Also, individuals who need focus, tracking & fluency support for better comprehension & retention

How Would Readers Use These Tools?
- After customizing/assembling the tools, place fingers on lower half of tools & move them straight down pages to each text line. However, this should be done at the user’s chosen reading rate.
- Also, use the short, handheld tool with short text lines & the long tool for long text lines.
- In addition, move tools from left to right only when decoding words. (Use Notch or Reading Window for this decoding.)
Examples
- First, select from among the yellow, deep blue or clear/non-glare reading filter colors provided for each tool. As a result, this will help improve visual comfort. Furthermore, focus & reading stamina will also increase.
- In addition, isolate 1-2 lines of text (depending on font size) with each tool. As a result, surrounding text not needing immediate attention will be covered. Also, this will decrease distractions & improve focus, tracking & fluency. Accordingly, comprehension & retention of content read will also improve.
- Then, by moving the tool’s Reading Notch or Reading Window over a new word (from left to right), readers can easily breakdown words into phonemes or syllables. Accordingly, more effective learning (decoding) will result.
- Also, use with math applications. First, cover parts of a math problem or equation for better focus. Alternatively, turn tools 90 degrees for more accuracy with column-type math problems.
- Additionally, experience more focus when using the tools to read e-books & other digital text on e-readers, tablets & other hardware. (Also, please place a protective film on tech device screens to prevent scratching.
- Finally, use the short tools with books having 2 columns of text on a page or with paperbacks. Correspondingly, use the long tools with larger books & documents having longer lines of text.
