Interview 1
"Born autistic and dyslexic, Ron has had incredible life. From standing in the corner at school with a dunce's cap on, being teased and beaten, and not talking until well into his teens, he started teaching calculus to the engineers working on the Polaris missile system before he turned 20! He went on to become a millionaire through real estate but always felt like a fraud because he could not read or write.
Ron reveals his amazing breakthrough and how he now teaches The Gift of Dyslexia through his network of international facilitators. A truly compassionate and amazing man."

He shares who these 'new people' are, and how our educational system needs to respond, not just for their sake but for the sake of ALL children."
