“Once you open up, you will start to create awareness.” - Priya
Fighting for equitable education for Dyslexic kids is already hard. But imagine advocating in a country with minimal knowledge about learning disabilities such as dyslexia.
Dr. Lauren and guest speaker Dr. Shanmugapriya discussed the difficulty of finding equitable education for her dyslexic son in India. She also shared her child's diagnosis and the lack of awareness about dyslexia in India.
As an advocate and a mom, Priya is a strong-willed woman who tries to spread awareness not just to child’s educators but also in her country.
