Today, we have a special treat! I had the incredible opportunity to chat with another fellow presenter from the Sped Summit. 

Our guest today is Lois Letchford. Her story is both personal and inspiring. Lois's journey with dyslexia began at the age of 39, a journey that started when she faced the challenge of teaching her son, Nicholas. 

This experience was a turning point, leading her to examine her own struggles with reading and how she could overcome them. This self-reflection and determination led Lois to retrain as a literacy specialist, an endeavor that took her from Australia to Texas, and finally to Albany where she earned her Master’s degree in Literacy.

Lois then spent seven years as the District Reading Specialist in Lubbock, Texas. There, she dedicated herself to teaching children aged 7 to 16 who had not found success in other reading programs. 

Her specialization includes working with children diagnosed with Dyslexia, Developmental Language Delay, Hyperlexia, and other learning disabilities.

Lois has also authored her first book, "Reversed: A Memoir," which I’m sure offers incredible insights into her experiences and expertise.

So, whether you’re tuning in for strategies, inspiration, or both, today’s episode is a great one.
