The National Institute for Health estimates that one in five people have a reading deficiency; Dyslexia is the most common. Despite its prevalence, however, there are many misconceptions about Dyslexia and how it impacts lives. Because of the misconceptions, Deirdre Ryan has created a program that simulates the effects of Dyslexia. Ryan hopes that as the program expands, more parents, teachers, and other allies will be more appropriately informed and better able to assist those with Dyslexia.
