As many people with dyslexia can relay, the world isn’t particularly well-equipped to accommodate those that experience this common reading disability. With plenty of horror stories of communities and institutions that simply did not understand dyslexia, working to reshape the world to empower dyslexic thinkers is the next step forward.

Encouraging schools to allow teachers to “Take a Day to Learn Dyslexia,” the nonprofit advocacy group Made By Dyslexia teamed with DDB Melbourne to release a 70-second spot narrated by acclaimed actor Jeremy Irons, explaining the necessity of empowerment in the classroom.

Titled “Square Pegs,” the short largely features a series of spheres being dropped into corresponding holes.
