Hi Everyone,
There is also a transparent ruler called an easy reader you can use. The come in many colors and you can put the straight edge over the print and read (the color helps forgot how) or you can put the ruler under the line you are reading.
We used them with students. Some didn't like it at all. Others had to have a certain color because it was the most comforting.
I have always been a voracious reader also. Not now and my heart pines for good literature and music. Looking at an entire printed page is very hard. Following a story line the same. Fiction is rough. I need to see one line at a time with EVERYTHING else covered.
I use my iPhone 5s mostly for the forum and everything else as it's the easiest for my brain. Short paragraphs of 2-4 sentences with lines between paragraphs.
Audio is rough. It overwhelmed my brain and I fall asleep. I tried one over and over but I only kept getting the very beginning but forgetting it.
Please keep posting if you have any suggestions everyone!!!
Jace
