2014 – Conference on Dyslexia and Innovation

 

The Second Dyslexic Advantage Conference on Dyslexia and Innovation was held in March 2014 in Sausalito California. The Conference brought together accomplished dyslexic individuals from diverse backgrounds and fields, including two MacArthur Genius Fellows, a Pulitzer Prize winning poet, Silicon Valley venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, and inventors, and young leaders from corporate America and leading innovative companies. The purpose of the conference was to connect, discuss, and create programs that will help the greater dyslexia community. Two satellite conferences were also held in parallel with this conference : The Dyslexic Advantage – UCSF Dyslexia Beyond Reading Conference and a public Celebration of Dyslexia event at Mission High School in San Francisco. We appreciate the generous support by the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation. Additional sponsors included the Stanford Office of Accessible Education and National Council for Learning Disabilities.
