Why Watch Left Behind?

Dyslexia affects 1 in 5 children globally, yet access to diagnosis, intervention, and tailored instruction remains deeply unequal.

This is a story about:

• The barriers families face when schools lack capacity or resources
• How communities can organize to demand change
• The untapped potential of students with learning differences
• Education justice as a civil rights issue, especially in underserved communities
