Craigy Balboa ,

Brilliant podcast for dyslexic people and their advocates

As a mum to a dyslexic thinker, the Made by Dyslexia resources have become invaluable in helping me to articulate my son’s strengths alongside his needs. I’m learning as an advocate, there is no room for me to ever be complacent and I need to help him learn to believe in himself and articulate his needs, which this podcast really helps with. It definitely helps to inspire confidence in him being open about his dyslexia and self belief. If more people could discover and unlock the power of dyslexic thinking, the world would be a much better place for all.
