TROY, Mich. — What do Albert Einstein and Whoopi Goldberg, former Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, Walt Disney, Jennifer Aniston, and Tom Cruise all have in common? They all have, or had dyslexia, a learning disorder that has nothing to do with intelligence, but can make reading extremely difficult. Fortunately, they all got help or managed, with great difficulty and sheer force of will, to find a way to overcome it. Not everyone is as fortunate. Deon Butler, a star football tight end at Central Michigan University, was signed by the Detroit Lions, but then cut from the team, because, he says, he wasn’t able to read the playbook. His problem was undiagnosed dyslexia. He descended into a dark world of drugs before turning his life around. Today, dyslexia, which affects one in every five people, is much better understood. Forty states, including Ohio, have some type of mandatory screening for schoolchildren to catch dyslexia, and intervention programs to help them overcome it. But not Michigan.
