About the Podcast

Mike was passionate about raising a greater understanding and appreciation of dyslexia and other learning differences. Mike joined me from Devon, England, and took us on a tour of his free website, Dyslexic DaDa, that celebrates the strengths of dyslexia. In addition, he offered stories, strategies, technology tips and more.
