Host and creative director Gil Gershoni explores the intersection of dyslexia and creativity with guests from a wide range of industries.
This season, you’ll hear from a rocket scientist, a political consultant, an ad executive, an expert in inclusive space design and the founder of a conference for neurodiversity in tech. All dyslexic. All making big moves throughout the world. You’ll also hear from nondyslexics like the authors of an influential book that’s reshaping the way we think about dyslexia.
The Next Generation Thinks Differently: Live premiere featuring Rawson Saunders students
While in Austin for SXSW EDU, Gil visited with students from Rawson Saunders, the only full-curriculum school for dyslexic students in central Texas. In this very special episode, students aged 9 to 13 share, in their own words, how their minds work, the techniques that help them learn and what they wish their teachers knew about their dyslexia. They also turn the tables on Gil and ask him questions about his journey to embracing his dyslexic strengths.
