Why I started my campaign called the voice for people with irlen syndrome,?

I thought that share why I started my campaign called the voice for people with irlen syndrome after a election candidate called Dawn Bowden came to see us during the election in 2016 so I told her about irlen syndrome and the issues we are facing like funding for our lenses then what she said I didn’t know about irlen syndrome before. Honestly it realised I was a shock by the fact that people in power didn’t know about irlen syndrome so my campaign was born with the aim to make the governments realise that the way treat people with irlen syndrome was so wrong and get it recognised in the NHS and schools. I was surprised that few days later I had a letter from my MP called Gerald Jones saying that he had wrote a letter to Mark Drakeford who was the health person at the time honestly I didn’t think that my MP Gerald Jones was interested in irlen syndrome and supporting my campaign called the voice for people with irlen syndrome. Then I got the chance to meet with him to tell about the issues we are facing on daily basis.

It’s was a shock what he said about other people writing to their MPs which was a shock for me it was the starting of people in power to listen to us. Then I had a meeting with both my MPs Gerald Jones and my new MS Dawn Bowden where I give my first ever speech about my experiences of living with irlen syndrome, then I was shocked by what my new MS said about holding an irlen awareness event down the Welsh parliament during our third irlen awareness week .I really didn’t know that I could have an event in the Welsh parliament which I was so excited about the event it was my first event, on the 17 October I did  my first irlen event where we had a welcome from my ms Dawn Bowden then a irlen presentation then I give my speech about living with irlen syndrome then guess speaker Hannah miller give her speech. Then two months after my first ever event I had a meeting with my MP Gerald Jones where he asked me if  would like to do an irlen awareness event in the House’s of parliament in the next spring.then in December my ms asked for irlen testing to be in the new educational bill.I was totally shocked about it because I never thought that my ms Dawn Bowden would be so interested in irlen syndrome.

A reflect on this year so far!

I thought that on this year so far well I took few weeks off after my mum passed away then I slowly got back to raising awareness of irlen syndrome by speaking to Natasha agsar ms then she contacted me about a parent who son has irlen syndrome then we had zoom call about her son.

Then I started to education a professional coach called Scarlett about irlen syndrome and all about my work for people with irlen syndrome then I had two meetings with we love Merthyr

Then I was in invited to an volunteer event with the mayor in the mayor parlour where I was given a certificate for the my hardworking for people with irlen syndrome which was amazing and emotional too

Then I had a meeting with the council leader about irlen syndrome and he wants me given irlen presentation for full council and then plaid cymru pontypridd cynon Merthyr wants one too .

Then to my surprise he mentioned irlen syndrome in his weekly update which was a huge surprise to me

I can’t believe how much I have done this year with everything happened with my mum passed away this year.

It’s mind-blowing what can been achieved with a simple pair of coloured glasses!

I thought that I would reflect on what I have achieved since having Irlen lenses, well where do I start.

Well after having my first pair of Irlen lenses back in 2014 ,I was asking if I wanted to do a computer course I said yes so to my skills teacher surprise and mine that I completely the computer course in two weeks.Then I moved up to skills club, so during very first Irlen awareness week in 2014 I give my very first Irlen presentation to skills club I attended at the time. Then in 2015,I had a suprise when I received a certificate said I am an Irlen ambassador. Then in 2016 I took bigger opportunity by Irlen syndrome down the Welsh assembly. Then in 2017 I took one step further by going up to Houses of parliament for an Irlen awareness event.

Then I was asking to presentation to Merthyr council in 2018,Then in 2019 I was given my first Property recognised by Merthyr council . During COVID 19 to my surprise my dad told the high sheriff about my work for people with Irlen syndrome so I was given a certificate from the high sheriff.

Then in 2023 my dad did the same but this time to the former prime minister about my work for people with Irlen syndrome, then to my surprise received a letter from the prime minister.

Then last year I got the biggest surprise when I checked my blog that it’s reached a milestone 500,0 views which is incredible for me to achieve

To achieve so  much with simple pair of coloured glasses is mind-blowing .

An irlen ambassador recognised for second time five years ago!

I never imagined that with all my hard work  for people with Irlen syndrome, I never thought that my hard work in raising awareness of Irlen syndrome would ever get recognised never mind be by a high sheriff of mid Glamorgan

When the high sheriff of mid-Glamorgan came to see me and gave me a certificate for all my hard work for people with Irlen syndrome I could burst with pride at the fact it was the second time I had been recognised for my hard work for people with Irlen syndrome since I started back in 2014 during our very first Irlen awareness week  where it all started for me it’s truly amazing that my hard work as been recognised for the second time .

I feel so much pride and proud of having all my hard work as been recognised by the high sheriff of mid-Glamorgan Jeff Edwards.

Being brave and amazingly strong for people with Irlen syndrome!

This blog post first of 2025, is a dedication to two lovely people, whom I called Dad and Mum many of you know I took a few weeks off but I am back slowly to raising awareness of Irlen syndrome, as I slowly get back to raising awareness of Irlen syndrome, I remember the promises I made to both parents after their death about making them proud of me no matter what.So I was contacted by Natasha Asghar MSAbout what we want in education for students with Irlen syndrome; then a few days later, she contacted me again about a parent whose son had recently been diagnosed with Irlen syndrome, so I had a video chat with her about her son. Recently, I joined a sewing club, and the teacher didn’t know about Irlen syndrome, so I decided to educate her about Irlen syndrome; then, to my surprise, other people from other groups asked what Irlen syndrome is, which is incredible for educating other people about Irlen syndrome. I have been raising awareness of Irlen syndrome for 12 years now but I am learning how to be proud of all the work I have done as an Irlen ambassador because people say that I should be proud of all my work for people with Irlen syndrome because people say i should be proud of all my work for people with irlen syndrome.

Amazing achievement of 500,0 views!

I couldn’t have imagined that my blog called A colourful new world would have reach 500,0 views which is incredibly.

When I first started my blog back 2016, I never thought that it would be celebrated 500,0 views

As an irlen ambassador it amazing to think that people like reading my blog , never mind 500,0 views

A year since I was praised for my work for people with Irlen syndrome !

I can’t believe it a year since I had a letter from the Prime Minster of Britan ,after my dad told him about my work for people with Irlen syndrome , He said I am sorry to learn that Jennifer is suffering from Irlen syndrome. However , It is inspiring to read that she is highlighting this condition through event at the Welsh Assembly and UK Parliament, and by sharing her experience in the media. Jennifer’s dedicaion as an Irlen ambassador and support of others with Irlen syndrome through her blog . A colourful New world commendale and she should feel very proud of herself.

As an Irlen ambassador it an honour to have praise from the Prime Minster of Britan. Because I never thought that about my work forpeople with Irlen syndrome would have reach the Prime minster of Britan, which is amazing to be noticed by the Prime Minster of Britan for all my hard work for people with Irlen syndrome .

It’s still a surprised to me through as I still can’t believe a one year that I got praise from the Prime Minster of Britan.

Entering another year of raising awareness of Irlen Syndrome !

As I enter another year of raise awareness of Irlen syndrome but only nine years of my own campaign called the voice for people with Irlen syndrome which had led to some big events throughout the campaign. Which is amazing to able to educate people especially important people too.

As I go into 2024 with the same goals to get Irlen syndrome recognised in schools and the NHS with the hope that whoever is the new first minster will take people with Irlen syndrome seriously now.

As 11 years since my first ever Irlen presentation I cannot believe how far raising awareness of Irlen syndrome as come now.

Just is crazy to think I have been raising awareness of Irlen syndrome for 11 years now today I will not give up on raising awareness of Irlen syndrome or making sure our voices are hear now

what a year 2023 is been?

This end of 2023 blog post is dedication to my dad and very close family who sadly passed away, 2023 didn’t started well after I was told something that true so then I decided to continue to raise awareness of Irlen syndrome no matter what I am told now then I share some of my Irlen awareness work with Irlen northwest and Nepa Irlen syndrome screening then I was asked to article about going to see live theatre performance with Irlen syndrome.

Then to my surprise I had a letter from the prime minster praising my work for people with Irlen syndrome, which was a shock, then an issue was bought to my attention about coloured overlays be used for dyslexia not Irlen syndrome.

Then I wrote different blog posts like my proud moments as an Irlen ambassador then I got the chance to education an OT about Irlen syndrome then I had my new glasses then I was asked to give my Irlen presentation for Beth Winter MP and her team then I started planning to Irlen awareness week.

Sadly, Irlen awareness week did not go very well because I had to take few weeks off after my dad passed away during the week, but I had a tribute for my work by Natasha Asghar MS and I manged to get the red houses light in purple again

Then I had two Christmas cards from Natasha Asghar and Beth Winter MP which makes me feel so special now

Let bring Irlen syndrome more to front of people in 2024.

Making a true difference for people with Irlen syndrome!

When I first started raise awareness of irlen syndrome back 2014 by given my very first irlen presentation never thought that be the started of me making a true difference for people with irlen syndrome then in 2016, after a visit from a labour candidate called Dawn Bowden, I realise that no politicians knew about Irlen syndrome which led to me set up my own campaign called the voice for people with Irlen syndrome which led to huge moment by going down the Welsh assembly now knew as Welsh Parliament then it led another huge moment to taken Irlen syndrome up to the houses of Parliament in 2017 .

Well forward few years I had two recognitions of my work by Merthyr council and the high sheriff of mid Glamorgan for all my work which is incredibly to make me proud of my work so far.

Fastest forward to this year I had a letter from the prime minister praise my work for people with irlen syndrome. Then I met Beth Winter MP for Cynon Valley and in October I had a tribute to my work by Natasha Asghar MS in Welsh Parliament which make it significant because where it all started properly.

Eight years of being true voice for people with Irlen syndrome!

I couldn’t have imagined that when I started my own campaign called the voice for people with Irlen syndrome back in 2016 ,I didn’t realise that would be something special for people with irlen syndrome , which led to go important place like the National Assembly for Wales and UK Parliament and to able to education important people about Irlen syndrome .

As the true voice for people with irlen syndrome is my true passionate to raising awareness of Irlen syndrome .

It been eight years I have been the true voice for people with irlen syndrome which is such a passionate of mine able to raise awareness of Irlen syndrome .

A reflect on the year so far !

I thought that I would reflect on this year so far well It didn’t start very good after I was told something that turned out not to be true, so I decided to continue to be the voice for people with Irlen syndrome no matter what so after that I shared some of my work with Irlen Northwest and Nepa Irlen syndrome screening then I had an surprise when I had an letter from the prime Minster after my dad wrote to him about my work for people with Irlen syndrome and I was asked to write an article about going to see a live theatre performance with Irlen syndrome .

Then I continue to write my blogs post like Irlen superstar ambassador gets recognized by her hometown council and Irlen goes to parliament about six years then I spoke to the member for learning in my hometown council about an issue of coloured overlays being used for dyslexia not Irlen syndrome and I wrote a blog about my proud moments as Irlen ambassador.

Then in May I started to educational Beth Winter MP for Cynon Valley about Irlen syndrome and then in June I wrote a blog post called Fighting to taken seriously by the government and to my surprise she wanted to read my whole blog, which is incredibly to have an MP reading my blog now.

In July Beth asked me if I would given my Irlen presentation to her team which was amazing she is the true voice for our valleys

Sadly, I have being nominated nine times for my MS and MP awards called community stars and being unsuccessful for 6 years now, so I feel like my work for people with irlen syndrome going unnoticed by them now

Irlen Ambassador takes a chance to educational another MP and their Team!

I never imagined that I would have been given opportunity to education Beth Winter MP for Cynon Valley and her team by given my Irlen Presentation, which was amazing to been able to education them about Irlen syndrome it’s an honour as an Irlen ambassador to able to education about Irlen syndrome.

As they didn’t know anything about Irlen syndrome and to raise the issues we are facing with Beth winter MP for Cynon Valley which was amazing

The presentation went amazing, and I found out something that I never knew before it was a shock, but I am glad to have educational them about Irlen syndrome now.

I want to say Thank-you to Beth Winter MP for Cynon Valley for her advice and being interested in Irlen syndrome.

Thank you so Much/ Diolch yn fawr iwan Beth Winter MP for Cynon Valley.

Fighting to be taken seriously by the Government!

It’s unfair that people with Irlen syndrome don’t have support and that we must pay for our lenses or ask a charity for help but when are we going to be treated properly? I thought of 2023, not the past. Stop sweeping us under carpet so that Irlen syndrome can be recognised by in schools before it’s too late.

The main issue is getting every school to have an Irlen screener so that no child is left behind. stop them from reaching their full potential, but the government is constantly banging on about basic skills have they thought why children are struggling for, further down the line, we wanted our lenses to be available on the NHS or help with them.

The government is constantly on about how we need to improve school results, yet they are standing in the way of what can make school lot easier for students why not try it and see what happens.

Fortunately, I took the opportunity to educate Beth Winter MP for Cynon Valley, about Irlen syndrome, which is amazing for an MP want to definitely look into Irlen syndrome.

A true Irlen advocate for people with Irlen syndrome!

I couldn’t have imagined that all my hard work in spreading the word about Irlen syndrome and improved services for people with Irlen syndrome would have landed me another recognized never mind been by the high sheriff of mid Glamorgan after he was told about all my hard work in spreading the word about Irlen syndrome and improved services for people with Irlen syndrome which is incredible that it two years ago now.

She is a true ambassador and advocate for promoting better services for future sufferers. This makes her a worthy recipient of the High Sheriff award

True Irlen Ambassador campaigning to make a difference for People with Irlen!

I never thought that 2022 would be another year of taking opportunities to spread the word about Irlen syndrome, never mind my work going worldwide to like different counties like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Morocco.
Then the year turned into highs and lower points but spreading the word about Irlen syndrome went a lot surprising that nominated for a few awards scope awards and commonwealth baton too.

I ever manger to educate NHS Staff about Irlen syndrome and a company physiquipe which I never thought there would be interest in learning about Irlen.
.
Incredibly, I was surprised to be praised by the founder of I couldn’t believe that she was very proud of me. I also met with the members learning about Irlen syndrome.
Then back at the beginning of December, I had a letter from my MP Gerald Jones and Dawn Bowden AM wasn’t successful for one of their awards and made three awards nominated for this year.

Now let’s hope to bring Irlen syndrome right into the public eye in 2023!

Being an Irlen Ambassador is a true honor !

Being an Irlen ambassador is so important to me as it means the world to me because it came at a time when I thought that no one like what I am doing to spreading the word about Irlen syndrome and how colour can transform someone life.

As an Irlen ambassador take huge opportunity like the National Assembly and Parliament and having to get over an event in Pencoed college was a surprised as the true voice for people with Irlen syndrome.

Well, I have been an Irlen ambassador for eight years now which is so amazing to take on the fight for people with Irlen syndrome with certain pride within it in my hometown or across the country.

When I was recognized as an irlen ambassador it was something really special because it reminded me that I am wanted on Irlen team.

It time to celebrate the world of colour

Last week was an important week called irlen awareness week which has a special meaning for me as it where it all started for me with raising awareness back in 2014, so this year I shared about my Irlen journey and what I have done to raising awareness of Irlen syndrome and about six years since I took Irlen syndrome down the Welsh assembly .

Then I manage to get the red house again like the last two years but this time I thought why not try get the Cyfarthfa Castle in my hometown lit up too which is amazing have them support people with Irlen syndrome now.

I also would like to say a big thank you to wellbeing Merthyr for support people with Irlen syndrome again this year , which is amazing have done three years in row now .

The red house again

A huge thank you to one class of Gellifaelog primary school in Merthyr for take part in the turn out light thing this year.

The day that made Irlen history!

Well I can’t believe that it is six years ago today that my campaign called the voice for people with Irlen syndrome went down the National assembly for Wales , which is amazing to be in Irlen history .

so we had a welcome from my Am Dawn Bowden , how she got know Irlen syndrome and the issues we are facing , Then we had a Irlen Presentation by Stephanie Jamison about irlen syndrome and how it impact on everything ,then we had two speeches one from myself about my irlen jounery and guess speaker Hannah Miller suppose be about her Irlen Journey.

Then we had discussion about the issues we are facing then Dawn said” that the only one local authority that recognised Irlen syndrome which was a huge shock though and she said taken the issues forward for us .

Then she said” that she help us taken Irlen syndrome up to Parliament

Today is Irlen awareness week so it came full circle as on the day in 2016 was when i took Irlen syndrome down to the National Assembly for Wales.

Being a true inspiration to Others!

Being called an Inspiration to others means the world to me, after all my willingness to put myself in front of officials and public to educate and create awareness of Irlen syndrome, it’s amazing to been called an Inspiration to others.

Truth be told I never thought that I would be called an Inspiration to Others when I first started to raise awareness of Irlen syndrome back in 2014 and when I give a speech in the Welsh Parliament and Parliament it was the start of me getting people with Irlen syndrome voices heard as Irlen ambassador knowing how important it is our voices heard by Officials now.

I am able raise awareness of Irlen syndrome nearly and far to getting people with Irlen syndrome voices heard ever taken over an event shows how I can raise awareness of Irlen syndrome no matter what.

So being an Inspiration is something I will continue to through educating and raise awareness of Irlen syndrome through my own experiences with the condition.

A reflecting on the year so far!

I thought that I would reflect on this year so far, it all starts with some of my awareness work with different counties like Canada and Australia, New Zealand, which was a huge surprise for me because I didn’t think that my awareness work would be going worldwide then I took an opportunity to talk a company called Physiquipe about Irlen syndrome.
I took some opportunity through the election for councillors in my hometown to education the candidates about Irlen syndrome.
Being nominated for commonwealth baton queen relay was surprised but a disappointed that I did not pick to do and nominated for a scope award. It makes me more determination to continue take opportunity ‘s for people with Irlen syndrome.

Then in June I took some opportunity to education NHS staff at a hospital called Ysbyty Cwm Cynon in Wales which was amazing because there did not know about irlen syndrome.

I am continuing to take opportunities for people with Irlen syndrome and to spread the word about Irlen syndrome I have been there for students and families during the last two years with the virus thing now.

Colour can help achieve so much !

After struggling for years with my reading and writing then I got diagnosis with Irlen syndrome in 2012 , which changed my life because there was a reason for all my struggled finally after a wonderful group called Merthyr Mendicants helped me to get my very first pair of Irlen lenses in 2014, after having them I got asked if I wanted to do a computer course which was so amazing to able do well on the course and complete within two weeks towards the end of the year I joined a skills club then during our first Irlen awareness week I did my very first Irlen presentation which was fantastic to able to talk about my experiences with Irlen and what it is. In 2015 I started to doing OCN credits in things like reading, writing and maths , Then in the July I had my second pair of Irlen lenses which was good because I was able to carry on sharing my experiences with Irlen , Then in the September I had bigger surprise of my life when I got a certificate saying I am an Irlen ambassador ,which is other really big achievement since I got my Irlen lenses. Then in 2016, I joined a group called Up and Coming which was incredible to have a group that accepted me for who I was.

I am so proud of what I have achieved 9 years of having Irlen lenses I have achieved so much now since I had my very first pair of Irlen lenses back in 2014, as they have changed my life and helped me achieved things I always thought would impossible like reading the complete whole of the Harry Potter series and able share my full Irlen Journey with important people and able to achieved things like reading and writing and now taken notes for things not perfect but it amazing for me as for years I have struggled for years with it

It is fantastic what my Irlen filters can doing they really have changed my life, but I do wish that my Irlen was pick up when I was younger.

Making a mark able difference for people with irlen syndrome!

When I discovered that not many people had not heard of Irlen syndrome before including me since I was diagnosed with Irlen syndrome back in 2012 but it wasn’t until 2014 that I was brave enough to share my experiences with other people to make them aware of Irlen syndrome and ever during our first irlen awareness week I given my first Irlen presentation to my classmates at a skills club I attended at the time, Which was the starter of something really special for people with Irlen syndrome .
I realise that not every important people had not heard about Irlen syndrome before so, in 2016 I decided to set up my own campaign called the voice for people with Irlen syndrome which has led to opportunities like the Welsh assembly and Parliament.

It amazing that my campaign called the voice for people with Irlen syndrome is making a mark able difference for people with Irlen syndrome within nine years of making other people aware of Irlen syndrome with nine years and it is going worldwide which is incredible within seven years of my own campaign called the voice for people with Irlen syndrome.

Being proud of my hard work in spreading the word about irlen syndrome and improving services for people with irlen syndrome but sometimes it didn’t come easy for me , and I am still learning to been proud of all my hard work in spreading the word about irlen syndrome and improving services for people with irlen syndrome, being brave to share my own experience with irlen syndrome near and far is something that takes pride to education people about irlen syndrome.

Being able to share my hard work in spreading the word about irlen syndrome worldwide is something that I am proud of

As an irlen ambassador it so amazing to have companies asked me how can they make things easier for people with irlen syndrome

I have had people say I am doing a fantastic job and keep up the good fight , it means the world to me because my confidence hasn’t been great recently , but I know that I have to started to be more proud of all my hard work in spreading the word about irlen syndrome and improving services for people with irlen syndrome.
