Sheryl is able to help individuals reduce anxiety, improve their mood, restore hope, and reconnect with their community.
Sheryl is also an Irlen Diagnostician and the clinic director of the San Francisco Irlen Clinic. The Irlen Method provides a unique service for some children and adults identified with reading and learning difficulties, low motivation, attention deficit disorder (ADHD), discipline problems, headaches and migraines, autism, and traumatic brain injury.
The symptoms are wide-ranging, but the technology focuses on one core problem: the brain's inability to process visual information. An individual does not have to have a diagnosed reading or learning problem to benefit from the Irlen Method. Good readers & gifted students can be helped & individuals with TBI. www.Irlen.com, IrlenSyndrome.org - info video.
