BONUS! October - Dyslexia Awareness Month

BONUS EPISODE! : October - Dyslexia Awareness Month


This episode is about the reflection of a year ago that the host, The Neuroaffirming Parent, got FREE dyslexia training resources from Nessy Learning, Cox Campus, and Made by Dyslexia! This episode is out of gratitude for these companies and organizations for raising awareness and sharing information to help dyslexic students and parents better advocate for better opportunities, accomodations, and modifications while navigating the neurotypical centric education world that still doesn't fully understand neurodiversity or the neurotype of dyslexia.

The host is apart of the 80% of adults that go their entire education career without being screened or properly identified as dyslexic. It's important for families to understand that Dyslexia is hereditary. It's important for teachers and educators to understand that in the USA 1 in 5 students are dyslexic. Internationally 1 in 10 people are dyslexic.

This is a very common, neurobiological in origin, neurotype that affects reading, which is the foundation for better communication and education for all individuals.

Please enjoy this very special BONUS episode!

Remember, every child is unique, and the strategies that work best for one child may differ for another. Be willing to adapt and evolve your approach as you learn more about your child's needs and strengths. Being a neuroaffirming parent is an ongoing journey of learning, empathy, and growth.
