The Unfinished Idea

Understanding Dyslexia: Signs, Support, and Breaking the Myths with Kelli Sandman-Hurley


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m joined by Kellie from the Dyslexia Institute for Learning for a powerful conversation about what dyslexia really is—and what it isn’t. If you're a parent of a child with dyslexia, have a neurodivergent learner in your family, or you're navigating your own learning differences, this episode is packed with insight and encouragement.


Kellie gently debunks common myths about dyslexia and explains how it affects more than just reading or spelling—it can impact emotions, confidence, routines, and relationships. We also dive into early signs of dyslexia in children, the importance of early intervention, and how to create supportive environments both at home and in school.


Whether you're exploring special education support, considering a dyslexia assessment, or simply want to understand the learning needs of your child or loved one, this episode will give you clarity, compassion, and practical tools.


Join us for a conversation full of education, empathy, and empowerment—and don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with other families navigating the neurodivergent parenting journey.
