Because of its hidden characteristics, dyslexia is often misunderstood and misidentified. To qualify for accommodations in school or the workplace, a person must be identified through psychological testing.

MRI scans reveal that learning areas activated in the brain of a dyslexic are different from those of “typical” readers. Dr. Guinevere Eden, Director of the Center for the Study of Learning at Georgetown University Medical Center, notes, “Brain imaging technology has helped us to understand that even though this is an invisible condition, it’s now become visible because we can see it in the brain.”

Alan and Susan Raymond visited schools throughout the U.S. that have programs specifically designed for different ways of learning. These schools focus on programs where students are effectively taught to read and learn compensatory skills to manage their deficits. They talk with students from elementary age to college, teachers, researchers and successful adults about the way dyslexia informs who they are, how they learn and the ways in which they develop a different set of skills with which to navigate a world where standardization is the norm.

Journey into Dyslexia features professional adults who share their school experiences of struggling to meet academic norms and developing skills to compensate for being labeled learning underperformers. Included in the film are consumer advocate Erin Brockovich; Ben Foss, inventor of the Intel Reader, New England Wood Pellet Founder and CEO, Steve Walker; celebrated micro sculptor Willard Wigan; and Dr. Carol Greider, 2009 Nobel Laureate in Physiology and Medicine. Now pursuing successful careers, they describe dyslexia as “a gift” and “a wonderful form of intelligence” that has facilitated their success.

A recent study sponsored by The Kauffman Foundation revealed that as many as 35% of entrepreneurs are dyslexic. Dr. Carl Schramm, CEO of The Kauffman Foundation, puts these unique differences into perspective, “Are these people more visionary, can they see things differently? They come to the realization that society pronounces the number of skill sets that are necessary for success that they don’t seem to have. And they go out and build the environment in which they will succeed.”

Still, Journey into Dyslexia shows that the majority of dyslexic U.S. students are not getting the help they need. The most poignant interviews come from children and adolescents with dyslexia who reveal not only their frustrations at being misunderstood but also the emotional toll the stress can take on young students. Dr. Maryann Wolf, author of Proust and the Squid , adds, "Some of our children with dyslexia are among our most intellectually gifted humans. It’s a form of intelligence. It’s a form of brain organization that they have that leads them to be, oftentimes, our artists, our architects, our pattern recognizers in radiology and astronomy. But they think often outside the box of our conventional left hemisphere thinking. I love them. Our species would never be what it is without this form of brain organization.”

Journey into Dyslexia is a heartwarming and insightful documentary that explores what it's like to grow up with dyslexia. The film follows the journeys of several individuals with dyslexia, including author and activist Jonathan Mooney, as they share their experiences with the learning disorder. The documentary delves into the history and science of dyslexia, exploring what causes it and how it affects the brain. Viewers get a glimpse into the day-to-day challenges faced by those with dyslexia, including difficulties with reading, writing, and spelling, as well as the emotional toll it can take on individuals.

The film also explores the many strengths and talents that dyslexic individuals possess, including a keen sense of visual-spatial awareness, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. Through interviews with experts, educators, and advocates, Journey into Dyslexia makes a compelling case for the importance of embracing these talents and supporting individuals with dyslexia in reaching their full potential.

One of the most striking aspects of the film is the personal stories shared by those with dyslexia. Jonathan Mooney, for example, recounts his struggles growing up in a school system that failed to recognize his potential. He shares the challenges he faced in learning to read and write, as well as the feelings of shame and inadequacy that often accompanied his struggles.

Despite these difficulties, Mooney went on to become a successful writer, speaker, and advocate for individuals with learning differences. His story, along with those of others featured in the film, is a powerful reminder that with the right support and understanding, individuals with dyslexia can achieve incredible things.

Another standout feature of the documentary is its emphasis on the importance of early detection and intervention. Experts interviewed in the film stress the importance of identifying dyslexia early on, so that individuals can receive the support they need to succeed in school and beyond. The film also highlights the need for educational systems to recognize and accommodate the needs of dyslexic learners, and offers practical strategies for teachers and parents to support these students.

Journey into Dyslexia is a touching and informative film that sheds light on a topic that is often overlooked in mainstream discourse. Its emphasis on the personal stories of individuals with dyslexia serves as a powerful reminder that far too often, individuals with learning differences are overlooked and underserved. The film serves as a call to action for educators, policymakers, and society as a whole to recognize and support the strengths and abilities of dyslexic individuals.

Overall, Journey into Dyslexia is a must-see documentary for anyone with an interest in learning differences, education, or social justice. Its blend of science, personal stories, and advocacy make for a powerful and engaging viewing experience that is both informative and inspiring.

Journey into Dyslexia is a 2011 documentary with a runtime of 1 hour and 17 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.6.

Growing up and surviving school is tough. Being stigmatized as "learning disabled" can drive a child right to the edge. Giving hope to students whose dyslexia makes them fear the written word, this enlightening and lighthearted film looks at young people living with learning differences as well as adults who struggled in school, and then succeeded in life. The result is a documentary that addresses the public's misunderstanding of the issue and demonstrates the great potential of each dyslexic individual.

Journey Into Dyslexia

You’ve probably taught a student with dyslexia—and were perplexed on how to help. This film shows successful adults who see their dyslexia as a unique gift.

VISIT: The filmmaker’s website for Journey Into Dyslexia

It’s estimated that 1 in 10 people in the United States have dyslexia.  So, what’s it like to have dyslexia? And, how can students with dyslexia successfully learn?

Dyslexia is a learning disability that is neurologically based—it results from differences in how the brain processes information. It is not a mental disorder or related to intelligence. It straddles all levels of education and economic class. While people with dyslexia see words differently, they also see things that others miss.

In the HBO film, “Journey Into Dyslexia,” award-winning filmmakers Alan and Susan Raymond visit schools throughout the U.S. that have programs specifically designed for different ways of learning. Students—elementary through college—teachers, researchers, and successful adults candidly speak about their school experiences, why different is good, and how they have learned to navigate the world.

Check out the “Journey into Dyslexia” website to view the trailer and to explore its many resources on dyslexia, including facts, biographies of notable adults with dyslexia, and educational resources.  See if your library has the film available for check-out, or you may purchase the film online.

Children of the Code Look beyond this website’s colorful disarray and you’ll find an abundance of videos and interviews with neuroscientists and others on “the code,” and the challenge of learning to read it.

HBO documentary, “Journey into Dyslexia"

Hi group members,

A new HBO documentary film entitled  “ Journey into Dyslexia ,” presents profiles of dyslexic students and adults who share their experiences of struggling in school and then succeeding in life.  The strength of the video is because of the many adult professionals who speak to viewers about how they once struggled to learn in school, but now consider their dyslexia a unique gift and the defining reason behind their success.

You can watch a short, one-minute video about the documentary at   http://www.videoverite.tv/pages/film-JID-about.html >

I think it would be a great vehicle for staff development, for parents, and even for adult education students.

Has anyone seen this documentary as yet?

I just finished watching this. It' a bit long at 72 minutes. But it has a lot of thought-provoking interviews with young people and adults who talk about what it is like to exist in a world in which people constantly highlight the things you can't do while ignoring the things you're good at.  One teacher in a school for students who learn differently stressed that there is no one solution because no two students are the same. As a teacher, he visualizes himself sitting at a sound board and continually adjusting each of the knobs up or down as he discovers more about how each student learns best. One man with dyslexia, now head of his own company, likened the "fix-you" approach used by many educators to someone saying to a person with no legs, "You just have to strengthen your arms so you can drag yourself up the stairs faster" rather than providing a wheelchair and building a ramp.  He said that he never learned to read well and has only read two books in his life. He then shared some of the technology he uses when he needs to get information from print such as a camera that takes a picture of a page and then reads it aloud to you. I think this is a great film for everyone to see--instructors as well as all those people who "learn differently." If we want learners to be involved in making decisions about their own learning, we have to start giving them the information they need to talk about what works and what doesn't. Home copies of the video are $19.99 and nonprofit organization copies $89.99. You can also watch it free if you have a subscription to HBO GO.

I am so pleased that you reported back on this.  I have several HBO channels and HBO On Demand and haven't found Journey into Dyslexia as yet.  Where did you watch it?
