October is International Dyslexia Awareness Month, a time to celebrate the power of Dyslexic Thinking! 🙌 This month, we have the opportunity to honor the unique strengths that come with dyslexia and highlight how these valuable skills can be empowered in the workplace. Of the more than 7 billion people on earth, 1 in 5 are dyslexic, and they often excel in creative thinking, complex problem solving, and effective communication. Join us in recognizing and celebrating the incredible contributions of those with dyslexia! 💡 #DyslexiaAwareness #DyslexicThinking #CelebrateStrengths #CNDCC #neurodivergent #neurodiversity
