Shannon Meyerkort on Dyslexia Awareness Month

October is Dyslexia Awareness Month; around one in ten Australians are thought to be affected by the condition, but while early diagnosis and treatment are paramount, it does not have to stop anyone from reaching their full potential.

Local author Shannon Meyerkort talks to Jeff Bullen about her book Brilliant Minds: 30 Dyslexic Heroes Who Changed The World, and the inspiration behind the book being the diagnosis of her daughter’s dyslexia.
