Made by Dyslexia Partnership

ReadSource and The Schenck School are excited to partner with Made by Dyslexia and Microsoft to help educate the public about dyslexia. We are working with technology giant Microsoft and the global charity supported by Sir Richard Branson, Made By Dyslexia, to inform global audiences about dyslexia. Schenck School faculty joined celebrities including Sir Richard Branson, Keira Knightley, Orlando Bloom and Maggie Aderin-Pocock to create five Dyslexia Awareness training films. The modules are designed to help teachers and educators understand dyslexia, both its strengths and challenges, gain essential knowledge in how to recognize and support it, and create a dyslexia inclusive classroom.
