Jonathan Mooney is Back By Popular Demand

Unable to read until the age of 12 because of dyslexia, Jonathan graduated from Brown University with a 4.0 average and a degree in English literature. He champions the notion that children with learning disabilities are not “broken” and do not need to be “fixed.” Instead, he suggests that schools need to practice more cognitive diversity and be able to reach out to those who think differently.

Jonathan will be speak to middle school students during an assembly on February 21, but you don’t want to miss this great opportunity to hear him for yourself!
