I just posted about our annual literacy breakfast, but I wanted to spotlight a free, 26-minute online film by one of our panelists, Ben Foss, called "Headstrong Nation." It gives you a glimpse into what it feels like to have dyslexia or AD/HD, as well as the civil rights case that opened the door for people with learning disabilities. You can see it at:

Best wishes,
