WELCOME AT DE WEEK VAN DYSLEXIE 2020

During the worldwide DYSLEXIA AWARENESS WEEK, HOI Foundation and Dyslexia Font will present the WEEK OF DYSLEXIE from 1 to 8 October. A week full of inspiring online sessions about the broad picture of dyslexia for parents, teachers, experts, employers, children and dyslexics themselves.

The theme of this edition is, Dyslexia Creates and Innovates. Throughout history the ability of dyslexics to think differently has made them "Game Changers". From the first phone to the iPhone 11 and from the first airplane to tourist space: all these innovations come from the shaft of dyslexics. And that's no coincidence! Dr. Maryanne Wolf (UCLA), Dr. Sally Shaywitz (Yale) and wonderful auteur Thomas West will talk about the power of "the other brain", the broad picture of dyslexia and improving self-confidence. To conclude, we are organising ABN AMRO "hiring out-of-the-box-thinkers". Successful dyslexics such as Dutch entrepreneurs Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten (TNW) and Hennie van der Most will share their vision and experiences.

Approx. 50% of the program in english all other speaker will be in Dutch.
