Color Overlays are thin colored / tinted pieces of film / plastic that are used for students who have a hard time processing or reading printed text. Overlays are used by placing them directly on the text that is being read, not above the text or over the eye. Another version of overlays are called lenses, the lenses are typically used for reading text on a computer screen.
