Are you a grandparent raising a grandchild who struggles with reading, writing, or “racing thoughts” that seem impossible to organize? Are you searching for practical answers and genuine hope, exhausted by a school system that just doesn’t get your child’s needs? Do you ever wonder if hidden strengths could be unlocked in your grandchild, turning struggle into a superpower?

I’m Laura Brazan, and in this episode of Grandparents Raising Grandchildren: Nurturing Through Adversity, we welcome dyslexia expert Russell Van Broecklin, who redefines dyslexia not as a disability, but as a unique gift of rapid, creative thinking. Russell shares his personal journey overcoming severe dyslexia and reveals a low-cost, science-backed method to help disorganized, speedy brains build confidence and skill as readers and writers. Together, we’ll explore passion-driven learning, easy screening tools for dyslexia, and why focusing on your grandchild’s interests can accelerate their progress and self-esteem.

For more information on Russell Van Brocklen and the dyslexia classes, please visit his website. If you think your child or grandchild might be dyslexic, I encourage you to fill out the questionnaire and set up a half hour free consultation with Russell.

You’re not alone in this journey. Join our supportive community, access practical resources, and discover how to transform adversity into opportunity for both you and your grandchild.

Tune in and reimagine your grandchild’s future—starting today.
