        Both of my niece/nephew have severe dyslexia. But we live in Canada so here they get: diagnosis, support, special schooling, a special laptop to follow school work at their pace and capacity. They are now in college and secondary school. Is challenging but the system works

        What you're doing is exceptional, Brandon. All too often we only see the "fun" side of Special Olympics. But these are the real stories. This is what our athletes and their families experience daily across the world. From the bottom of our heart, we thank you.

        As someone who is dyscalculic and schooled largely in Nigeria, I can definitely relate. There was absolutely no support and had to find my path. It was tough. I was amazing at everything else except arithmetic. Heck, I didn't even get diagnosed in Nigeria.

        Dyslexia is a small problem which can be overcome with the right help! I want to help this boy, how do we do it?
