My personal story;
 
Under old fluros, in bright blue-white lighting situations, & while out shopping, it feels like I have a rooster perched on the back of my neck.

However, using my colours; yellow or blue tinted glasses, depending on the time of day, calms me. 
an effortless sigh, I feel my shoulders lower & relax.

I can walk the line on Montessori without being clumsy. If I take my glasses off, I fall off the tightrope line on the floor. Put them back on, and I can walk smoothly with control and ease.

I always had to make my school timetable large and coloured each subject, as I was placed all over the high school.
I was late to class if I didn't use my tinted lenses, and paperwork and my hair, looked like a mess.  I was bullied for my personality traits,  being a humanitarian, and doing my job well enough & having too much fun encouraging teenagers.

So, I did my own thing. I taught in practical ways with all subjects.
I turned off fluros in my classrooms, and most children would feel relieved. Other teachers would turn them on. I had trained my teenagers well enough to turn them off again without a fuss after they left.

I could tell who I could help as I walked the length of the hall in exams.

The teenager laughing, messy looking, swinging his chair under an old flickering fluro, holding his body hunched over the light,  throwing a paper plane, guessing multiple choice answers ABBCDB and simply the look of their handwriting of their name on their paper. Always finishing with too much time on the clock, and not wanting to try for better, longer answers, and leaving things blank.

I can better help more children and adults with special needs, from all backgrounds now, with rexie, by creating a pilot program, or visiting on a teacher development day as a consultant, than I ever could as a classroom teacher. This web space is for people wanting to grow their brain, ask questions and share their story.

It is worth it for me, if just one child improves with rexie.

In the Montessori setting, I used colour to help young toddlers change their handwriting, read aloud smoothly, were calmly working for 3 hours or longer on their individual work.

Now, I work productively, for longer time periods, with a clear mind, using  colour-coding,  to sort my characters in my writing my novel  with multiple points of view. I can't wait to work on it, completely motivated, and having fun while doing it.

Whether I work on the computer, or by hand, my colours are used daily to sort, make sense and make words still and clear.

My depth perception has improved particularly when crossing main roads.
