Terri Bowersock runs her business through pictures rather than words, allowing her to overcome difficulties that arise from dyslexia. Have you battled a disability in running your business? How did you deal with the challenge?

From Scott, St. Paul I also have dyslexia and dyscalcia and couldn't get a BS in Computer Science due to math issues. BUT I was able to get an AA degree. I've been working for Fortune 500 and State contracts for years now. I'm a leader and have had many different roles with the company I work for. Spelling has improved only due to years of practice. But I often now ask my 12 year old how to spell things I don't know!

It is a very intersting article about how a dyslexic person can be successful. This is very similar to a recent Indian movie "Taare Zameen Par" which is about how a dyslexic child is treated in India and how a teacher discovers his problem and helps him overcome it. It is a very touching movie, and a must watch. I think it deserves a mention here. Please try and watch it.
Cheers!!
