DYSLEXIA: U.K. racing star joins fight to treat dyslexia

From the CEC Smart Brief:

When he learned at the age of 42 that he, like his two young sons, was dyslexic, Formula 1 driver Jackie Stewart said he felt as if he'd "been saved from drowning." Stewart, now head of the Scottish Dyslexia Association, successfully lobbied the Scottish Parliament to fund a program at Aberdeen University that will prepare teachers to work with children with dyslexia and other learning disabilities.
