Hillary Summerbell on Using Her Dyslexia to Help Others with Visual Dyslexia Learn to Read
Description
What would your life be like if you couldn’t read? Think about school, getting a job, so much of your daily life. Hillary Summerbell has dyslexia. She can’t read like most people. Not just books or textbooks. She couldn’t even read road signs, let alone use a computer. But, Hillary doesn’t give up. She finds solutions. She used the talents she had - an amazing eye for design and colors - and built a multi-million dollar interior design company and then, one night, after years of trial and error, she had that eureka moment. By simply breaking away from the linear presentation of words, she could realign them into a format that she could read. It was immediate. It worked. She’s had it tested and validated. And now, with her company, the Summerbell Reading Method, she is enabling people across the country to read what they want, when they want. There’s a Chrome extension and an app. It’s a remarkable, story of courage, conviction, and hope.
