Sami Carrick joins the podcast this week to discuss YOUR questions about reading disorders, dyslexia, and so much more. She is the founder of Sunny Seed co. Her mission began over a decade ago when she was a passionate teacher, deeply troubled by how schools were neglecting crucial research on child development, reading instruction, and neuroscience. She quickly realized the profound impact early childhood experiences had on every aspect of a child’s future—academic, social, emotional, and even their health and cognitive development.
