Susan Barton is an internationally recognized expert on dyslexia. After her nephew Ben was finally diagnosed with profound dyslexia at age 16, Susan Barton switched careers from working with computers to dyslexia. Her goal is to help parents and teachers catch dyslexia earlier and guide them into providing the right type of tutoring and support, so that no child will have to go through what Ben experienced.
