Dyslexia Devoted

Dyslexia and ADHD often go hand in hand.

Welcome to Episode 23 of Dyslexia Devoted and today we’re going to be revisiting the topic of ADHD. It has been the most popular episode of this podcast, and this week some things came up with the kids so I’d like to focus this episode on the child perspective.

Today we’re going to discuss talking to kids about ADHD, talking to your child’s doctor about medications and med changes, and how ADHD affects girls differently.

Have you ever talked to a child with dyslexia about self-advocacy?

Welcome to Episode 21 and today we’re focusing on why teaching children with dyslexia how to self-advocate is so essential.

Have you ever wondered if a suggested treatment for dyslexia really works?

Welcome to Episode 20 and today we’re going to discuss strategies that DON’T help people with dyslexia! Be sure to tune in the very last section today as I have just found an amazing video about parents advocating for their children with dyslexia and it aligns perfectly with our last myth.

Also, one of the fantastic parents I work with shared with me This American Life Podcast Episode 773: The Longest Distance Between Two Points. The first 7 minutes of the episode sound pretty much like every day in my office as I teach children how to read. Those first few months can be pretty bumpy as a child is learning to read, and many don’t realize just how much work goes into it.

Have you taken a look at the spelling lists kids get at school? What do you notice about them?

Welcome to Episode 19 and today we’re going to be talking about spelling lists! I didn’t realize just how passionate I am about this topic until a parent asked me about them last week! Apparently, I have a lot to say about spelling lists, so it’s the focus of this week’s episode!

In most areas, there is a shortage of certified dyslexia specialists. So what causes this? Many things stop teachers from becoming dyslexia experts, including a lack of knowledge that it exists, financial barriers, and hindrances on their time to work with students as they complete practicum requirements.
