@iamthatenglishteacher: In one unforgettable episode of The Cosby Show—‘Theo’s Gift’—Malcolm Jamal Warner’s character, Theo, discovers he has dyslexia. That moment was my first introduction to the word and concept of dyslexia, and it shaped the way I viewed learning differences for the rest of my life. Instead of treating it as something negative, the show celebrated Theo’s discovery and empowered him, which left a lasting impression on me. Years later, while studying child psychology in college, I connected the dots back to that episode and realized the power of cultural representation. This is the best of what Hollywood can do—shift perspectives and create meaningful conversations that last generations. #Dyslexia #MalcolmJamalWarner #TheosGift #DyslexiaIntervention ##rememberingmalcolm
