Dyslexia and the Athlete
Description
Dyslexia is a hidden superpower! Most dyslexic individuals have a ton of grit and are willing to take more risks. This presentation spotlights the strengths of the dyslexic mind, including skills that are especially useful for the student athletes, such as heightened spatial awareness, understanding complex patterns, and perceiving actions faster than others. At the same time, the talk explores easy-to-use online dyslexia screening processes that foster personal ownership of this powerful learning difference, which champions an emerging list of inspiring dyslexic athletes and reshapes what it means to be neurodivergent.
