Pennie Aston, Director of GroOops on dyslexia

Pennie Aston, the Director of Gro0ops on Dyslexia, speaks about dyslexic identity and dyslexic well-being. As a dyslexic herself, Pennie explains that the condition of dyslexia shapes a person’s identity, because of how they view the world and how others in the world view them. Thus, the topic of identity is very important.
Pennie explains that there are various aspects of a dyslexic’s personality. These varying aspects are connected to how they interact with others as well as the challenges they face on a daily basis. She also points out that many of these tendencies are similar, because dyslexic people tend to see world in similar ways.
