    Episode 137 - Why Your Request For Accommodations Might Be Denied

    In Episode 137 of Let’s Talk Learning Disabilities, Laurie and Sydney discuss why many students and adults seek testing accommodations only when facing high-stakes exams such as the SAT, ACT, LSAT, MCAT, GRE, bar exam, or medical licensing tests. Requests often come from two groups: high-school students whose families are newly aware of the accommodations process, and older college or graduate students who are suddenly told--often by tutors or counselors--that extra time could help them. For many, this realization comes too late, triggering panic as they confront a complex and bureaucratic approval system they never knew existed.

    Episode 135 - The Emotional Toll of Learning Disabilities with Jacob Santhouse

    In Episode 135 of Let’s Talk Learning Disabilities, Laurie discusses the emotional impact of learning disabilities and ADHD with Jacob Santhouse, a licensed counselor and the founder of Olive Counseling. Santhouse, who is dyslexic himself, focuses his practice on the emotional side of neurodivergence rather than just the academic or language-based struggles typically associated with dyslexia. He notes that many individuals with learning disabilities suffer from persistent self-doubt, social disconnection, and a sense of being "othered" in various contexts.
