Dyslexia -- dispelling myths | Jessica Collins | TEDxPearsonCollegeUWC

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Jessica's talk is about her experience with dyslexia. She covers new research about dyslexia, which shows that our brains physically work in different ways. Jessica also challenges viewers to encourage different ways of thinking instead of trying to reproduce one type to thinker (as we currently tend to).

Jessica Collins is a seventeen-year-old girl from London, England currently studying at the Lester B. Pearson United World College in Victoria, Canada. Jessica was officially diagnosed with dyslexia when she was fifteen, but has always been aware that she is slower at reading and writing.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
