    Episode 151 - Types of Dyslexia

    In Episode 151 of Let’s Talk Learning Disabilities, Laurie and Cara tackle one of the most common questions they receive from parents - whether there are truly different "types" of dyslexia - and work through terms like stealth dyslexia, double deficit dyslexia, phonological dyslexia, and visual/surface dyslexia to separate legitimate research-based concepts from labels that have been popularized online and in parent groups in ways that blur the line between a description and a diagnosis.

    Episode 150 - Back To School

    In Episode 150 of Let’s Talk Learning Disabilities, Laurie shifts the focus away from typical back-to-school prep and onto a group of students that she thinks about most: the bright, well-behaved kids making good grades who are quietly struggling behind the scenes. Grades only tell you what a student produced, not what it cost them... and smart kids are especially skilled at compensating for learning disabilities like dyslexia, ADHD, or slow processing speed through strong memory, supportive parents, and sheer effort, until eventually the workload outpaces their ability to cope. Rather than watching report cards, Laurie urges parents to pay attention during the first six weeks to warning signs like excessive homework time, exhaustion, avoidance of reading, rising anxiety, and a child who is quietly losing confidence, because sometimes the most serious struggles are the ones no one else can see.

    Episode 149 - Charlotte from We Know Campus

    In Episode 149 of Let’s Talk Learning Disabilities, Laurie speaks with Charlotte, a University of Tennessee sophomore who works for We Know Campus - a service that connects high school students with vetted, high-achieving current college students via 30-minute Zoom calls to give honest, unscripted insight into campus life, academics, social culture, disability services, and more. The service is exclusively available through partner private schools and independent educational consultants (not directly to the public), and is designed to complement - not replace - the broader college planning process.

    Episode 148 - Special Education and Disability Rights and Advocacy with K Altman Law

    In Episode 148 of Let’s Talk Learning Disabilities, Laurie speaks with Francesca Corbis and Melanie Roy from K Altman Law, a nationally recognized special education and disability rights law firm, who walk through the most common pitfalls families encounter in the IEP and 504 process - including the critical distinction between medical and educational diagnoses, the subjectivity of "educational need," the danger of template-driven dropdown goals without clear baselines, and the painful strategic reality that outside tutoring can actually undermine a child's eligibility case.

    In Episode 146 of Let’s Talk Learning Disabilities, Laurie interviews Lesli and Erin — two certified dyslexia therapists transitioning from public school work into their new private practice, Dyslexify — covering what dyslexia therapy actually is, why the school system keeps failing to catch and address it early, and what effective, structured literacy instruction looks like.

    Episode 145 - Hot Topics In The Learning Disabilities World

    In Episode 145 of Let’s Talk Learning Disabilities, Laurie, Sydney, and Cara have a "Hot Topics" discussion where they each bring a current study or topic covering the systemic gaps in how learning disabilities get identified, a commonly overlooked processing disorder that flies under the radar in schools, and exciting new neuroscience research reframing how we understand and diagnose ADHD. Across all three topics, a common thread emerges: the field is advancing rapidly, but awareness, resources, and diagnostic tools haven't caught up -- leaving many students, particularly girls and those in under-resourced environments, without the support they need.

    Episode 144 - Meet Cara Fennell

    In Episode 144 of Let’s Talk Learning Disabilities, Laurie introduces Cara Fennell, a new member of the Diagnostic Learning Services team who recently transitioned from nearly a decade as a special education teacher and educational diagnostician in Texas public schools to the private sector. Cara shares her background in early childhood special education and walks through what the school-based evaluation process looks like -- from obtaining parent consent to using a pattern of strengths and weaknesses to determine eligibility -- while reflecting on the differences between public school testing and private practice, particularly the freedom to spend more time with families and assess areas like ADHD more thoroughly.
