Thomas has spent the first years of his life in a permanent daze. Unable to make sense of the world around him, by six years old Thomas is unable to communicate effectively and needs full time teaching support to enable him to remain in mainstream education. Having not been able to access learning at even the lowest level in Year R, he enters Year 1 unable to pronounce or write his name. He has become so withdrawn that he even struggles to maintain relationships with his family.
Following a suggestion from his Teaching Assistant at school, Thomas is diagnosed with a type of processing deficit known as Irlen Syndrome, a condition where the brain cannot accurately process and interpret visual information. Thomas's Journey with Irlen tells the miraculous true story of how day by day Thomas's life is changed forever after he starts wearing Irlen lenses.
