Glenn: Author, historian and disability activist. By using the skills he learned from radical politics in the fire of 1960s America, he rose to become the national expert on learning disabilities in adulthood for the U.S. Government. His own diagnosis came at the age of thirty when he was also diagnosed with ADHD.
As a result of his work, he became well known nationally and internationally as a lecturer on learning difficulty issues.
Glenn was the inspiration for the emergence and success of the Dyslexia Foundation in 2001-2 and continues to mentor the CEO of The Dyslexia Foundation to this day.
