KD,
I totally agree! I feel the same way

Since I am a special education teacher, I know where to search for resources for people with dyslexia/learning disabilites. I haven't finished searching, but I have a few ideas but have not tried any of them out. So, I have no idea if they will work.

1. Kazzi - have you tried using tinted sunglasses? You may have to experiement with different colors, but it may work. Plus, you'd look marvelous sitting at your computer. If it works, it's a win-win situation.

2. I read that you can change the settings in your browser.?

3. I use color transparencies with my students with dyslexia. I put the transparency over the text page and it reduces the contrast. Each student is different and what color works for one may not word for another. You can get these at Office Max, etc. Maybe you could place the transparency over your monitor? I guess you would have to tape it.

I can't really test run these ideas because I don't have dyslexia. It would be great if you could try these and let us know if they work. If not, it's back to the grindstone for more ideas.

Take care!
