Proving that dyslexia is a neurological issue and not a character flaw, The Big Picture beautifully illustrates that while the condition is an obstacle, it also carries some unique advantages, and ultimately can be overcome.
Shining a spotlight on the latest scientific and psychological research, the film also highlights the work of Drs. Sally and Bennett Shaywitz, co-founders and co-directors of the Yale Center of Dyslexia and Creativity to illuminate the hidden origins and implications of dyslexia.
Directed by Jamie Redford, The Big Picture has joined hands with the Decoding Dyslexia movement. Jamie’s wife, Kyle Redford, is the Education Editor at the Yale Center for Dyslexia and Creativity.
Pete do you have this dyslexia decoding on a CD? Would you also have a CD of strategies for addressing educational needs of dyslexia students? I am finding more need for those skills now that I am retired and substitute teaching locally.
Thanks for considering my request.
