I used to think Dyslexia is basically a problem with reading and spelling, and letter reversals.  And then I came across the work of Brock and Fernette Eide and realised I was far off the mark.  Not only was my understanding of the challenges someone with Dyslexia faces terribly inadequate, but I had no idea of the incredible strengths such a brain inherently has. 

Who even knew Dyslexia could be an advantage?

But that’s exactly what the Drs Brock and Fernette Eide set out to prove twenty years ago ….

They are the co-founders of Dyslexicadvantage.org and the  co-authors of The Dyslexic Advantage and The Mislabeled Child with over 100,000 books sold, with translations into Spanish, Chinese, Japanese  Korean, and Dutch.

Both are international authorities on dyslexia and learning differences.

In this episode Elle asks Fernette, on behalf of parents who see their children struggling daily, how their research and experience can help us see Dyslexia from different perspective.
