Give sufferers of Irlen Syndrome coloured paper

The issue

My name is Laura, i'm 15 and i suffer from irlen Syndrome, which is a form of visual dyslexia. The way i'm treated for my disorder is  with coloured lenses and colored paper. the problem is, is without my coloured paper, i still can't reach my full capabilities when reading and writing. My school has refused to give myself and others who suffer from it, coloured paper. Telling us that we need to use an overlay. An overlay is all good for reading, but as soon as it comes to writing we are back to square one, and not being abled to read it properly. People should support my petition due to the fact that all students should be given an even playing field to other students yet this cannot be achieved if we are disadvantaged.
