Unraveling dyslexia.
When we better understand dyslexia, we can better help others grasp its complexity and impact. That’s part of the Sopel Foundation for Dyslexia’s core mission.
What is dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a language-based learning disability or disorder that affects your ability to read, decode words, spell, write, and speak.
Dyslexia isn’t linked to intelligence or IQ – even Einstein was dyslexic! But without the appropriate educational support, dyslexic people often struggle in school.
The result: Reduced career opportunities, social isolation, and a lower satisfaction in all areas of life.
However, with early detection and diagnosis, dyslexics can receive appropriate interventions that will enable them to become confident kids and successful adults.
We share our story, because you are not alone.
No voice remains unheard, including our own.
As part of our awareness journey, we are heavily working on bringing stories from all across the world to life, and demystifying dyslexia.
Tune into our podcast, “Word Blindness,” to hear insights and interviews about dyslexia and the other “4Ds” (dysgraphia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia and ADHD) with a dose of humor and reality from our very own Brent Sopel and Juliet Hahn.
