Dr. Dan interviews Dr. Victoria Waller about her book Yes! Your Child Can: Creating Success for Children with Learning Differences as well as her proven techniques to create success for children with learning differences and challenges to draw out the singular genius within each child.  

Dr. Dan and Dr. Waller talk about her “secret sauce” and teaching to strengths and passions. Dr. Waller explains how to use our child's natural strengths and passions to build academic, social, and personal confidence. Dr. Waller empowers parents to let their children follow their own interests, whether it's learning about sharks, reading to the dog, or writing. Dr. Waller’s techniques are effective and inspiring – just like this energizing episode.

For over 40 years, internationally acclaimed reading specialist and student advocate Dr. Victoria E. Waller has helped children who have trouble reading, who can't sit still in class, who don't feel like they can participate—children whom teachers have all but given up on. 

Every child can succeed in school and life, but some children need more help than others. 

Dr. Victoria Waller was the creator of the My Disney Busy Bags for Travel on Planes and Cars for Disney/Hyperion Books and she has created backpacks and toys for M&M Mars, Inc. She was a founding member of the L.A. Children’s Museum, a veteran speaker for the International Reading Association for 25 years, is the focus of Eve Bunting’s internationally-acclaimed-and Caldecott Medal award-winning middle grade novel, Sixth Grade Sleepover and is Kourtney Kardashian’s children’s ‘rockstar’ tutor!
