I’ve been a big fan of Bill Gates and the Microsoft Corporation since it first went public. Maybe not so much for Steve Ballmer. And, of course, very saddened by the recent death of co-founder Paul Allen https://www.paulallen.com/

But, as a physician and board certified surgeon; stock-broker, insurance agent, Registered Investment Advisor [RIA], reformed Certified Financial Planner® and Certified Medical Planner®; as well as appointed professor of economics and finance, medical educator and human being, I have never been more proud of MSFT, and CEO Satya Narayana, after learning of this new didactic initiative. Here is why?

“Microsoft + Made by Dyslexia”

Did you know that the “Microsoft + Made by Dyslexia” is helping dyslexic students thrive with technology? https://educationblog.microsoft.com/2018/10/microsoft-made-by-dyslexia-help-dyslexic-students-thrive/#oXg7GGHaHdS7wvep.99

Definition:

Dyslexia, also known as reading disorder, is characterized by trouble with reading despite normal intelligence. Different people are affected to varying degrees. Problems may include difficulties in spelling words, reading quickly, writing words, “sounding out” words in the head, pronouncing words when reading aloud and understanding what one reads. Often these difficulties are first noticed at school. When someone who previously could read loses their ability, it is known as alexia. The difficulties are involuntary and people with this disorder have a normal desire to learn.

Therefore, the ”Made By Dyslexia” pledge is for companies, teachers, professors, educators and governments to pledge to value dyslexic thinking, and to begin taking positive steps towards supporting it.

Assessment

Rest assured,  I am ashamed to say I know little about dyslexia. I am not a communication disorders or special education expert; so Mea Culpa!

Nevertheless, I urge you to  take the pledge! I have.
