Learning Via Your Style | DJ Cunningham | TEDxYouth@Toronto

Education expert DJ Cunningham details his struggles with dyslexia growing up, and demonstrates the value of viewing learning disabilities as learning differences.

DJ is a pioneer in the use of assistive technology to support learning disabilities and the co-founder of LEARNstyle. DJ is revolutionizing the methodology for determining a student’s preferred learning style with a web-based, gamified inventory tool called PULSE (Personal Use Learning Style Evaluation). When deployed, PULSE will provide the possibility of substantial operational efficiencies for schools to achieve improved student success and achievement. DJ is currently featured as a MaRS Education Changemaker.
