Dyslexia, a learning disability that affects oral and written language, often masks the presence of a gifted mind. People with dyslexia learn differently. This program from The Doctor Is In explores that cognitive difference by examining how dyslexic students learn, and how new teaching techniques are helping them succeed in school. These teaching approaches are explored at the Washington Lab School—a pioneer in the implementation of innovative teaching methods. Thomas West, author of In the Mind’s Eye, discusses our society’s need for the visual talents possessed by many people with dyslexia. A Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center Production. (29 minutes)
