    #173: A Bucketful of Skills: DSA Support and Love for Learning with Kerry Pace

    In this episode of the Dyslexia Explored Podcast, hosts Darius Namdaran and Jo Lee welcome returning guest Kerry Pace to give a practical guide for UK university students with dyslexia or other learning differences who have been awarded Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA). Kerry explains what the DSA grant award letter looks like, why it’s a “golden ticket,” and how to read the key tables showing software/equipment and non-medical helper support such as specialist study skills tutoring and mentoring. She outlines what study skills sessions can cover, how support can be used flexibly, why students should start early rather than wait for crisis, and what to do if they don’t gel with a tutor. The conversation highlights how tutoring helps apply assistive tech, build strategies, save time and energy, improve marks, and develop transferable skills and self-advocacy.

    #172: My Best Mood: Building Emotional Resilience in Neurodivergent Kids with Rose Lord

    In this episode of the Dyslexia Explored Podcast, hosts Darius Namdaran and Jo Lee interview Rose Lord, a neurodivergent entrepreneur and former British champion gymnast who is developing the My Best Mood app to build emotional resilience in children. Rose recounts her journey from having "extreme dyslexia" that left her unable to process written words to finding success through a specialized brain-retraining program and eventually advocating for neurodivergent youth in Parliament. They discuss her innovative platform, which uses AI to turn a child’s imagination into personalized digital stories, incorporating evidence-led accessibility features like colored filters and read-aloud functions. The conversation highlights the importance of supporting the "blast radius" of emotional dysregulation within families and Rose’ mission to ensure that children feel valued and understood rather than "fixed".
