Explore 1in5: Sharing personal stories

With 60 million Americans dealing with dyslexia, why we created 1in5 is really pretty simple: A lot of people need our help. And, what’s really cool about the ‘help’ part is that everyone can help, including you. How you help is another reason why 1in5 was created, and it’s really simple: Just tell your story! You’ll be amazed at the power of conversation – how talking not only informs and enlightens, but more importantly, how it soothes, reinforces, supports, and inspires.
