This is a very real disorder, which my son (now 28)still suffers from - for him black on white letters move over the page like waves; for others they are like music score lines. The problem is that these kids don't know that this is NOT how it is supposed to be, and often the issue is only identified because someone who knows thinks to ask them about what they see when they look at a page of print. Shane has always had spelling problems because the letters jump around so he doesn't have a visual memory of their correct order, and his writing is that of a demented ant! It really ahs had a big impact on his life. A common indicator is car sickness especially if you are driving through trees where you are in and out of shadow - it appears like flashing lights to these kids. Others need a different colour for each lens. Flourescent lights are also bad news. Shane needed a blue overlay (we actually got him glasses with blue-tinted lenses) while his friend needed yellow. This was a particularly hot topic in the early 1980s - I don't know if it is the same now, but I have certainly seen some great results.
