About James Billett - Irlen Central England UK
James has an extensive background in education with 30 years full time teaching experience across all ability and age ranges.
James was a Special Needs Co-ordinator in a secondary school for more than 20 years.
James first trained with the Irlen Institute in 1990.
"When I made a career move from teaching A-level sociology to being responsible for special needs provision, which included what was then known as the remedial department, it became obvious that many children were confined to lower sets or failing to reach their potential through reading skill deficiencies. Using multi-sensory reading schemes we found coloured overlays had an immediate and positive effect. Once the symptoms of Irlen Syndrome were eliminated students were able to learn to read using the phonics method."
James became an Irlen diagnostician in 1995. James left teaching to work privately in 2002.
Irlen Central England works with families, colleges, universities and government agencies across Britain and Europe. James travels extensively across Europe working with clients on the autistic spectrum.
In his spare time James enjoys spending time with his family and grandchildren. He is a keen gardener and plays the piano.
