What do young school kids love to do when they come home in the afternoon?Play outside, of course. But it was different for Keith Amundsen, who has dyslexia and other processing disorders. He struggled with reading and remembers his parents having to re-teach the day’s lessons to him when he came home — “Basically it was like I would come home and have to go to school, again.” Today this 18-year old from Staten Island is relishing his freshman year at State University of New York, Oswego, pursuing courses in graphic design and management information systems, and singing in the popular student performance ensemble, “Vocal Effect.” As a Learning Ally National Achievement Award winner, he’ll be coming with his family to Washington, DC this week to accept his award, meet the media and talk up LD advocacy with public officials. Keith and his fellow NAA winners represent Learning Ally’s mission in action. You’ll meet all of them here in coming days.See More

When do Beer and Dyslexia go together? When you’re dyslexic and studying to become a Master Brewer, of course! Meet Brian Murphy (@BrianBrewsBeer), who tweeted out to us last week: “I am dyslexic & a brewer & I would just like to give a shout out to @Learning_Ally for recording the first brewing education book for me.” At age 28, Brian is pursuing a Certificate in Brewing Science with the American Brewers Guild. Learning Ally volunteers and studio staff have been producing the audio textbooks he needs to accomplish his goal. We visited Brian at the popular Mad Fox Brewing Company in Falls Church, Virginia, where he began as a bartender and has been perfecting his craft ever since. As you might expect, the beer there is piped from tank to tap, and is mighty good!
