Dean and Bodhi Bragonier
The Dyslexic Renaissance: A Paradigm Of Opportunity
July 7, 2 - 4 pm
For more than a century, students with dyslexia have been relegated to the sidelines of academia. Locked out by the primacy of text-based learning, dyslexics have internalized the failure of a constrained educational system, resulting in their mass incarceration, underemployment, and addiction.
A new age of dyslexia is upon us. The proliferation of EdTech, an emphasis on social-emotional learning, and a global marketplace that demands ingenuity have begun to level the playing field for individuals with dyslexia. Dean shares his personal journey and illustrates how highlighting the cognitive advantages of dyslexia and students' emotional development will empower the individual and benefit society at large.
Dean Bragonier is Founder and Executive Dyslexic of NoticeAbility. Bodhi, his son, was the inspiration behind NoticeAbility. Dean and Bodhi frequently speak publicly about dyslexia and its cognitive advantage.
