I think diet can be ONE of the pieces of the puzzle in helping to overcome a learning challenge.

I always love a dyslexia success story so I was immensely pleased when I came across Louis Barnett’s story. The Dyslexic Reader always features a “Famous Dyslexics” section and this was one of my favorites.
