The Dyslexic Advantage, a powerful documentary reframing dyslexia.

Following the success of the UK premiere screening of The Dyslexic Advantage earlier this month, we are now able to offer one-time educational screenings of the film to UK schools, colleges and organisations.

This inspiring new documentary challenges stereotypes and reveals some of the strengths of the dyslexic mind. The film explores how dyslexic thinking powers creativity, innovation, exploration, and human achievement.

The film also touches on many of the early social and emotional challenges that young people face when they are in school.

This short film is ideal for presentations at schools, colleges and organisations looking to broaden their understanding of dyslexia and the unique strengths of the dyslexic brain. The film could be shown to staff, parents or learners in your school, college or organisation. The film is 45 minutes long.

One attendee said,

“I found the film incredibly inspiring! So much food for thought!”

“It was brilliant and fascinating. I will be advocating that the film be used in the school I am currently working in”, another attendee said.
