Learn

We need to learn the truth about our disability. Without understanding dyslexia, we can’t understand ourselves and we can’t explain our disability to others. Knowing the facts about dyslexia is the first step to self-empowerment and self-advocacy.

Start by learning the basic facts about dyslexia with our straight forward question and answer format—not an exhaustive archive of information. Or you can learn more about dyslexia by watching our nationally broadcast documentary, Headstrong: Inside the Hidden World of Dyslexia and Attention Deficit Disorder.

If the world of dyslexia sounds all-to-familer—but you have not heard of, or understood it until now—we suggest taking our quick, informal dyslexia test. After taking our test, you will be advised whether or not you should look into getting officially tested in order to document your disability and start acting on your rights.
