  Film provides personal accounts of the dyslexic experience from children, experts and well-known individuals, such as Sir Richard Branson and financier Charles Schwab. Drs. Sally and Bennett Shaywitz, co-founders of the Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity share their insights gleaned from their decades long research into this disability. It dispels misconceptions about the condition, the fact that it is a neurological issue and not a character flaw, and even though the condition is an obstacle, it also carries some unique advantages.
