"On Wednesday, February 17, I was a guest on the blog talk radio show Midlife Matters with Les Brown. The conversation Les and I had started me thinking about the global state of dyslexia. During the interview, I expressed this theory. We are in phase two of a three-phase process necessary to eradicate dyslexia as a fundamental learning disability in our society. Phase one is what I am calling "The Age of Ignorance", phase two is "The Age of Awareness", and phase three will be the "The Age of Consciousness"."

	August 2008 - Visual vs Auditory Learning Brenda Baird writes... What do Jamie Oliver, Keira Knightley, Richard Branson, Ted Turner, Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein have in common? They are all internationally recognised in their chosen fields and they are dyslexic. The only famous dyslexic Australian that comes to mind is Kerry Packer and it’s only common knowledge because he spoke openly about it. The fact that we only know about Kerry Packer’s dyslexia is not that he is a unique Australian in this sense, it is because dyslexia is not recognised in Australia and most suffer because they remain undiagnosed. Why is dyslexia not recognised in Australia? Click Here for a full copy of this article.
