Brief summary of show:
In this episode of the Motherhood Village podcast, I speak with special guest Lynn Greenberg, a retired attorney and author who discusses her co-authored children's book, 'Robbie the Dyslexic Taxi.'
The book was inspired by Lynn's son's battle with dyslexia and their journey to understanding and managing the learning disability. Lynn and her son created Robbie as a neurodiverse character that children can relate to, seeking to foster understanding and acceptance among young readers. She also discusses the importance of advocating for your child's unique learning needs, obtaining further education on learning disabilities, and finding supportive communities.
Lynn reveals her future plans to extend the series, creating more stories featuring neurodiverse characters. The book can be obtained via Amazon and bookshop.org; meanwhile, Lynn and her son can be reached through their website and social media accounts under Creative Cab Company.
