The Big Picture: Rethinking Dyslexia with Special Guests Dr. Sally Shaywitz and James Redford

Please join us for a very special public screening and discussion of Parent's Choice Gold Award winner THE BIG PICTURE: RETHINKING DYSLEXIA. Special Guests Dr. Sally Shaywitz and Director James Redford will answer questions following the film.

The film follows Redford's son Dylan as he is preparing to enter college - a major challenge for a boy who was, in the director's words, "functionally illiterate in 4th grade." The film interviews several young dyslexic students, as well as public figures diagnosed with the learning difference, including Richard Branson, Charles Schwab, and Gavin Newsom, California's Lieutenant Governor. Drs. Sally and Bennett Shaywitz, co-founders of the Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity, share insights gleaned from their decades long research into this perplexing disability.

Brought to your community by our partners Learning Ally, Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity, and Decoding Dyslexia.
