'The Big Picture: Rethinking Dyslexia' movie
Dyslexia Support
By Marci Orr
This is a story of hope and encouragement. Come and bring anyone you feel would benefit from understanding The Big Picture.
The Big Picture: Rethinking Dyslexia provides personal and uplifting accounts of the dyslexic experience from children, experts and iconic leaders, such as Sir Richard Branson and financier Charles Schwab. Directed by James Redford, the film not only clears up the misconceptions about the condition, but also paints a picture of hope for all who struggle with it.
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. Proving that dyslexia is a neurological issue and not a character flaw, The BigPicture beautifully illustrates that while the condition is an obstacle, it also carries some unique advantages, and ultimately can be overcome.
