Dyslexia Strengths and the Creative Side with Artist and Advocate Mike Juggins: Go Dyslexia Episode 3

This blog shares my video podcast featuring artist, videographer, and dyslexia advocate Mike Juggins. Unfortunately, Mike passed away a few years ago, but his message still lives on! 

Video podcast episode on dyslexia strengths and creativity featuring artist and advocate Mike Juggins with Dr. Erica Warren, discussing the creative side of dyslexia.

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.
