If you currently feel like you're single-handedly battling a school administration just to get your child tested or receive appropriate accommodations, this video is for you. Famous American Author and journalist Margaret Mitchell, best known for the novel Gone with the Wind, was also a member of Scottish Parliament during her time, and made great strides for implementing dyslexia initiatives.

Mitchell provides an excellent example of what political action on behalf of those with dyslexia can achieve. Though efforts in helping dyslexics have progressed, even today there there are still many dyslexic children who are not yet identified in primary and secondary schools. People still have to fight for assessments and lack of educational psychologists. Preventive support is critical to help dyslexics to reach their full potential. Just remember -- you are not alone.
