The Creative Brilliance of Dyslexia | Kate Griggs | TEDxBrighton

Even in 2018, there are many misconceptions and lack of awareness when it comes to dyslexia. The month of October is dedicated to bringing awareness to dyslexia to help empower those living with dyslexia and educate those working with students with dyslexia.

The following TEDx Talk featuring Kate Griggs helps us to re-think our perception in dyslexia and to change the way we approach learning differences in our day-to-day lives. Kate is passionate about helping the world understand dyslexia as a different way of thinking, not a disadvantage.

In 2005 Kate founded dyslexia charity Xtraordinary People, uniting the UK dyslexia charities and devising and leading a high-profile campaign, which culminated in the UK government’s Dyslexia Review. Kate was given an award by former Prime Minister Gordon Brown in recognition of her campaigning work. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
