What is dyslexia?
When kids and parents search “What is dyslexia?” online, they are told it is a ‘disability’ or a ‘lifelong learning disorder’. 9 in 10 say this makes them feel hopeless or scared for their future. These descriptions fail to include dyslexics’ extraordinary strengths, which are now sought after in every workplace. But we can change this.
