What if dyslexia is not a disability, but a different way of processing information that many schools still do not understand?
In Episode #97 of Pre-Zero Sports Talk, Sid Bensalah sits down with Russell Van Brocklen, dyslexia researcher, educator, and founder of DyslexiaClasses.com.
After being assessed at roughly a first-grade reading and writing level in college, Russell turned his personal struggle into a 20-year mission to rethink dyslexia, learning systems, and how parents, teachers, and coaches can better support dyslexic students.
This conversation explores dyslexia research, neurodiverse learning, education reform, Russell’s front-brain learning model, word analysis, writing improvement, parent-led success stories, coaching dyslexic athletes, sports and motivation, AI as a research tool, and the institutional resistance facing new learning methods.
