Adult Dyslexia Webinar - Don Mullan

As part of our Adult Dyslexia Webinar Series, we were delighted to welcome Don Mullan, humanitarian, media producer, and best-selling author of the “politically influential” book Eyewitness Bloody Sunday - The Truth. During this webinar, Don discusses his experience in school as an unidentified dyslexic; how his identification of dyslexia set him on “a road to new and unimagined adventures”; the power of words; and, the importance of having role models.
