READ ME DIFFERENTLY

Read Me Differently (runs 56 minutes)
A shock of recognition in social work school leads first-time filmmaker Sarah Entine to explore how undiagnosed dyslexia and ADHD have impacted three generations in her family, starting with her own struggles. With surprising candor, vulnerability and even a touch of humor, Read Me Differently reveals the strain of misunderstood learning differences on family relationships. It is a unique film that will generate thoughtful discussion whether in a classroom setting, work environment or at home with family members and friends.

Individuals needing accommodations to participate should contact VSA Texas, (512-454-9912) directly two weeks in advance of the event. ASL interpretation, CART, Live Audio Description, and information in Braille are available upon advance request. All foreign language films are subtitled and verbally translated. All venues are wheelchair accessible.

Suggested donation: $5.
