Dyslexia eye-opener
I am now highly aware and informed about dyslexia after listening to this episode. I am a teacher and I also know adults with dyslexia. The fact that they’ve adapted despite no real intervention or known strategies, is amazing to me! I will be looking forward to future episodes with hopefully some positive progress in obtaining help for our NM youth with dyslexia.
