Arran, who himself has navigated the challenges of dyslexia, shares his compelling journey from concept to realization of the UK's primary exhibition dedicated to dyslexia awareness. This episode delves into the origins of the Dyslexia Show, its evolution amidst the pandemic, and the remarkable growth it has experienced, including the introduction of the Dyscalculia Show.
