Dyslexia: Tapping into the potential | Barbara Wirostko (Morelli), MD | TEDxBozeman
Barbara Wirostko, an advocate for students, invites us to stand up for students with learning differences. Dyslexia gets missed and goes undiagnosed all the time. As a society that is able to recognize learning differences, we can tap into the creativity, passion, and skills of students with dyslexia and other learning differences. Barbara Wirostko (Morelli) MD, wears a lot of hats as a researcher, clinician, entrepreneur, a nonprofit Executive Director, a wife and mom. A Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Utah, SLC, she loves teaching and caring for patients. She began her career at Cornell with a BS in Microbiology, completed her MD and residency at Columbia University in New York, and a glaucoma fellowship at Cornell. Barbara’s expertise is in ophthalmic clinical research, however her purpose has expanded beyond medicine. Barbara and her husband, Joseph Morelli MD, started the Joseph James Morelli Scholarship, a nonprofit, in memory of their son Joseph James, a junior at MSU in 2014. The family has committed to this effort based on the unmet need nationally that exists - young adults with learning challenges such as dyslexia still struggle to receive accommodations needed to achieve academic success. Barbara lives in Park City with her children and husband and has become an advocate and voice for dyslexia awareness. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
