Sam Crosby, the Executive Director for the McKell Institute, is dyslexic and grew up in a middle class family in Australia who were persistent in getting him diagnosed correctly and in getting him the educational support he needed. Crosby is now keen on Australia instituting national, early child education programs that will allow socially and economically disadvantaged families to provide the kind of support for their children that he received.
Dyslexia requires an early diagnosis for proper placement.
Crosby argues that Australia will be stronger if it supports educational programs that allow the disadvantaged to benefit from education. The practical recommendations that Crosby advances through his work with the McKell Institute include parent-training programs as well as early childhood education. Crosby sees such measures as making it possible for more children with dyslexia to be properly diagnosed and educated.
