I have recently discovered that along with dyslixia I have an extreem sensitivity to light. Computers are the worst! I have several plastic overlays, two blue ones and one grey, which i am using as i type this response. I recieved them from my Dissabilities director on my college campus. See if you can get in touch with some sort instituion in your area. The key to these plastic overlays seems to be that the dyslexic needs to choose them form themselves, being we all take in light differently. Also look up the Irlen Method. This will give you and them good insight on what needs to be understood in reading in color. Tinted galsses are also available but not cheep, insurance may cover them. God BLess, Vanessa
