New Video Series Views Dyslexia as Difference, Not Disability

A new video series–Dyslexiaville— has come out developed by Academy Award winning director/producer Peggy Stern (Best Animated Short, 2006 – The Moon and the Son:  An Imagined Conversation), that is created by and for kids with a diagnosis of dyslexia and other learning differences.  I watched the first video and it was hilarious – lots of quirky special effects and great jokes as ”Professor Boom” assesses the differences between the ”dyslexic brain” and the ”non-dyslexic brain.” There are several other videos in this series, and new videos launch every Tuesday.  I highly recommend that you take a look, and then subscribe!
