The Big Picture: Rethinking Dyslexia
On Wednesday 30th April 2014, the Swindon Dyslexia-Specific Learning Difficulties Service will be hosting a special viewing of the Sundance Film Festival selected film “The Big Picture: Rethinking Dyslexia”. ‘The Big Picture’ reveals that dyslexia is a neurological issue, not a character flaw. It explains that the struggle with the written word is not a measure of one’s ability to think, to create or to solve problems – all valuable skills in the world outside the classroom.
