Brent Sopel Visits Lawmakers in Washington D.C. for Dyslexia Panel
Recently Arkansas Congressman Bruce Westerman invited Brent Sopel, along with dyslexic students, their educators and doctors from around the country, to the nation's capital to spread awareness about America's most common learning disability. Brent was proud to represent both the Brent Sopel Foundation and the Dyslexic Community during the panel in Washington D.C. Brent knows first-hand how difficult overcoming Dyslexia can be, and he knows the potential that can be unlocked once Dyslexia is overcome with appropriate teaching methods such as the Wilson Method. As Brent stated during the panel, "There are some brilliant people in this world that are getting let down that can change everything." To read more about the panel in our nation's capital, click here for a news article by KXNet.
