In 2020, at the age 20, Dylan Smith formed a company called D is for Dyslexia. Despite working a full-time job that requires countless hours and extensive time on the road, he felt the need to share his story: his struggles, his worries, his perseverance, and ultimately his successes.
His goal? To impact, inspire, motivate, educate, and bring awareness to the challenges that kids with dyslexia face.
How? By making podcasts and using other social media outlets, speaking at business conferences, and talking to kids, parents, and educators.
Why? Dylan hopes that by sharing his story, friends, educators, and the whole community can become more aware of the life of a child with dyslexia to help these kids succeed.
With my story - first being misdiagnosed, overcoming my struggles and disadvantages, and finally graduating with my class - I now want to create change, bring awareness and reshape the way people look at dyslexia.
