About
My name is Suzy Parr
Having worked for many years with children, young people and adults from many walks of life I am able to utilise my experience and qualifications to support individuals in their Irlen journey.
My own journey of understanding and supporting my own children led me to become an Irlen Screener.
Mission
My Commitment
At Irlen Screening Service, I specialise in offering screenings for Irlen Syndrome as an officially affiliated Irlen screener. This initiative stems from my personal journey as a mother of two daughters living with the condition. My mission is to provide vital screening, resources and knowledge to individuals; both adults and children, ensuring they receive the support and understanding they need.
What is Irlen Syndrome?
Irlen Syndrome is a light-based visual processing problem. The brain struggles to process light and visual stimuli efficiently. It is not an issue with sight or vision, even though it can affect what some people see and can make reading and other visual activities more difficult. Irlen Syndrome is an information and sensory processing problem.
When someone has Irlen Syndrome, their brain overreacts to light and visual stimuli. This over-activity and inability to effectively process visual stimuli creates a variety of visual, physical, cognitive, emotional, and neurological symptoms. Light sensitivity is very common with Irlen Syndrome.

I am DBS checked and have a wealth of experience in working and supporting adults, children and young people. Sometimes a chat can reassure you that an Irlen screening is the best decision. I am able to provide flexible and accessible appointments. All appointments will take place in CH5 4UT.
Who could have Irlen Syndrome?
Irlen Syndrome is usually hereditary and tends to run in families, it can affect males and females. Many adults will have suffered with Irlen throughout their whole life. They may have found ways to adjust and compensate for the discomfort it causes in everyday life. For many children it can negatively affect their educational success, academic outcomes and hinder them in their everyday life.
Irlen Syndrome is a spectrum disorder, individuals can suffer slight to severe symptoms. For some individuals discomfort can begin immediately, for example, being in bright light, reading off a glaringly white page. For others discomfort will creep up on them the longer they continue with a task.

Testimonials
My daughter is now entering Year 11 and starting her mocks and GCSEs. During Year 10, we noticed a gradual and worrying change: severe headaches, sensitivity to bright lights, mood changes, and days when she would come home from school and just go to bed and fall asleep. Despite visits to the GP and the optician, no underlying problems were identified — yet it was clear something was wrong.
By chance, we tried blue-tinted glasses, which offered some relief and following a conversation with a colleague we investigated Irlen Syndrome. A google and a search through the Irlens website led us to Suzy, and I am so glad it did.
From the first contact, Suzy made the process straightforward and reassuring. She explained everything clearly, listened carefully to my daughter, and treated her with patience, empathy, and respect. Suzy ensured my daughter was at the centre of the process and took the time to understand her experiences fully.
The report we received afterwards was nothing short of eye-opening. It has given us clarity, direction, and hope that the coming GCSE’s, maybe A levels and beyond, can be managed better now that my daughter has the tools and understanding she needs to face the challenges ahead.
I am extremely grateful to Suzy for her professionalism, compassion, and expertise. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
