Unlocking the Superpower of Dyslexia: Rewiring the Brain Through The Writing Method with Russell Van Brocklen
In this eye-opening episode of the Happy Healthy Her Podcast, Cynthia Penner, Tracey Male, and Lorraine Kihm sit down with educator and researcher Russell Van Brocklen, creator of The Writing Method, to explore how dyslexia can be transformed from a challenge into a remarkable strength.
With over a decade of experience helping students with dyslexia, Russell shares how combining neuroscience with practical writing strategies has helped hundreds of students overcome academic struggles and discover their true potential. His innovative program — funded by the New York State Senate and built on the groundbreaking research of Overcoming Dyslexia by Sally Shaywitz and Strategies for Struggling Writers by James Collins — has empowered students to increase their writing abilities by seven to eight grade levels in just one year.
Together, the group dives into the science behind dyslexia, the power of neuroplasticity, and how educators and families can nurture learning differences instead of fearing them. They also discuss how reframing the way we think about challenges — whether in learning, health, or midlife transitions — can unlock resilience, creativity, and confidence at any stage of life.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
How The Writing Method rewires the brain to support learning success
Why dyslexia is often a sign of creative and analytical strength
Simple ways to support students or loved ones with dyslexia
How changing perspective can turn limitations into opportunities for growth
💡 Whether you’re a parent, educator, or lifelong learner, this conversation will inspire you to see dyslexia — and yourself — through a whole new lens.
