Dyslexia
By Jamie Guth
"The Doctor is In"
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center

This outstanding documentary looks at dyslexia, a learning disability that affects millions of Americans. People with dyslexia have minds that are often gifted and productive, but that learn differently from their peers.

New approaches to educating children with dyslexia are profiled, and experts such as Dr. Gordon Sherman and Thomas West discuss research into this condition and society's shifting need for these more "visual" thinkers.
