Where can I find colored overlays to help students with light or color sensitivities?

Color filters and kit packages for school use can be purchased from Onion Mountain Technologies:

Davis Facilitators do not use colored overlays or similar aids in their work, and we do not recommend colored lenses or filters for treatment of dyslexia. It is important to remember that these tools are for the purpose of accommodation, but are not a substitute for appropriate educational support. Many dyslexic children and adults are particularly sensitive to light or contrast on a page, so these tools may alleviate eyestrain and make reading less cumbersome for some students.
