Mary B. Asper, Penny Stack – Dyslexia Improving Performance & Building NEW Neuropathways
The overwhelming frustration a person with Dyslexia goes through knowing what they want to say or do, but not being able to express it on paper or get the words out, socially withdraws them in an attempt to hide their struggles…

It is time to shift our mindset from approaching Dyslexia as only a reading impairment and start to consider the overall medical concerns!
