Compelling personal stories, innovative educational methods and cutting-edge scientific research highlight the important contemporary issues surrounding dyslexia. The program also offers valuable insight into the inner-workings of the dyslexic mind and provides parents and teachers guidance for reaching a dyslexic child.
