Luz Illuminates Dyslexia At a very young age, Luz Rello realized that she was not learning at the same pace as her classmates. Something prevented her from understanding what the teacher was writing on cards, and her friends could read easily. Over time, Luz realized that she was dyslexic. But she did not give up, she learned to cope with these difficulties and ended up becoming an expert in linguistics. As an adult, as a researcher, Luz has managed to develop a test to detect the risk of dyslexia in less than fifteen minutes, which is a true global milestone in the treatment of one of the most common obstacles to children's learning. The story of Luz is that of someone who, from a very young age, realized that there were things around her that did not work well, and that maybe she could do something in order to change them. So she thought of a solution, she looked for teammates to carry it out and started a very important project to contribute to a better world.
