This conversation explores why it is time to rethink how society understands dyslexia. Blending lived experience with clinical expertise, the session will examine how stigma, language, and missed identification can shape a child’s confidence, mental health, and future.
Kate Griggs will discuss the global movement to reframe dyslexia through the work of Made By Dyslexia, while Maggie Aderin-Pocock will reflect on her experience growing up as an unidentified dyslexic and how recognizing her strengths shaped her career. Harold Koplewicz, MD, President and Medical Director of Child Mind Institute, will provide clinical context on dyslexia, why it is often misunderstood, and what effective support for children and families can look like.
