Dean Bragonier

Two years ago, Dean Bragonier founded NoticeAbility in an effort to change student curriculum for dyslexic kids before his own son hits middle school. Why? Dean and his wife Sally Taylor are both dyslexic. What struck me most was when Dean explained that the invention of the Gutenberg printing press and text-based learning meant 20% of our population was left. This fall Martha's Vineyard public schools will adopt his curriculum district-wide, he will pilot with Citizens Schools and offer his curriculum at three private schools. His interview offers a fascinating insight into the brain, how we learn and why we can't leave dyslexic kids behind.
