What Is the Voices of Dyslexia/Story Corps Project?
To help raise awareness of dyslexia and its impact, the ODRD's Dyslexia Awareness Collaborative (DAC) partnered with the RESC Alliance: Cooperative Educational Services to bring to life Voices of Dyslexia: Tell Us Your Story. Inspired by StoryCorps, we believe storytelling is a powerful tool that preserves the human experience and "builds connections between people to create a more just and compassionate world".
Everyone has a story worth sharing, and amplifying the experiences of those impacted by and living with dyslexia is inspirational and important. We hope these stories will raise awareness and inspire actions that lead to measurable change, helping students, families, and teachers achieve better outcomes on the path to proficient reading and writing.
Please take some time to listen to these stories and share your thoughts with us! We'd love to hear how listening to the perspectives and experiences of those sharing their story resonated with you!
You can email us at sde.dyslexia@ct.gov.
