Financial Help

Most agencies require that you apply before getting the services. They do not refund after the fact.

  • Call for sliding scale or low income fees
  • During screener trainings I screen clients over the age of 8 for free. I need one for my demonstration, and several for my new trainees to test. You still have to pay $5.00 for overlays. Call if you would like you or your child to be tested.
  • Often there are screeners in schools who screen students in their school for free. If there is not one in your school see if you can persuade a teacher or counselor  to take the training.
  • Call Lion's, Rotary and Kiwanis clubs for help.
  • Vocational rehab has paid in many areas .
  • Regional services have sometimes paid for a child with Autism or similar disorders.
  • Foster parents services have paid for foster children.
  • Churches have often funded families who attend.
  • Irlen has a small scholarship account called LRA. They will fund my low income fees if they have money. Donations always welcome.
  • I accept gifts of gently used frames and pass them on to needy clients
  • Opticians often have a box of discontinued frames under the counter that are very inexpensive. 
  • Some insurances will pay. You need a letter from a psychiatrist or doctor and you must apply before getting the testing.  Call Susan for more information.
