Dyslexia 101 on the The Brian Lehrer Show
Mayor Adams has been open about having dyslexia and is critical of schools for not being equipped to properly educate students who have the same condition. Shawn Anthony Robinson, reading instructor at Madison College, senior research associate in the Wisconsin Equity and Inclusion Laboratory and co-founder of Doctor Dyslexia Dude, and Susan B. Neuman, professor of Childhood and Literacy Education at the NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, explain how dyslexia affects the brain, and the mayor's plan to implement universal screening in public schools.
