Comment by Eric McCormick on January 28, 2012 at 11:03am I guess this also shows that the Jack Horner rule could be that if you want to make advances, you may need to break a few eggs... literally.
I think we are finally breaking the eggs, or preconceived notions, that Dyslexia is one thing and terrible. People are finally learning that it is something else, changes in basic brain structure, and that it also allows many great things.

Comment by Dr. S on December 24, 2011 at 9:07am I have many patients that love dinosaurs- when I have a patient that I discover has some form of Dyslexia, I mention him and suggest they look at videos--many that Dr. Fernette and Dr. Brock posted. It really helps-- kids need to see they are not alone. Great Link!!

Comment by Dr. S on November 26, 2011 at 6:53pm Great video-- a brilliant man--who failed college 7 times-and promoted more techniques and theories to his area of study--and yet--no letters behind his name. Our Education system is beyond flawed it is in the Dark Ages.
