    Dyslexia Duo Podcast Episode 85 - Dr. Tiffany Hogan
    Mar 28 2026
    The Dyslexia Duo: Dr. Tiffany Hogan on Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), Dyslexia, and Language Comprehension On the Dyslexia Duo podcast, hosts Melissa Dean and Aimee Rodenroth interview speech-language pathologist and literacy researcher Dr. Tiffany Hogan about the relationship between dyslexia and developmental language disorder (DLD). Dr. Hogan describes her training and research, including analyses from the NIH-funded Iowa Study that followed children from kindergarten through 12th grade and helped determine DLD prevalence. She explains that dyslexia primarily involves difficulty reading words accurately and fluently, while DLD involves difficulties learning vocabulary, grammar, and discourse, with a high but not one-to-one overlap (about 50–80%). The conversation covers early indicators such as late talking (fewer than 50 words and no two-word combinations at age two), the need to directly screen language (e.g., sentence repetition, story retell), overlap with ADHD, and the importance of systematic, explicit instruction for both word reading and language comprehension, including MTSS approaches. Hogan shares resources including DLDandMe, Empower DLD, RADLD, and her See Hear Speak podcast. 00:44 Introducing Dr Tiffany Hogan 01:42 Her Path Into Research 03:11 The Iowa Longitudinal Study 04:38 Dyslexia Versus DLD 06:39 Overlap And Real Examples 10:23 Two Pillars Of Reading 12:19 Early Signs And Late Talkers 14:57 Building Language At Home 18:45 Beyond Phonological Deficits 21:02 Screening For DLD In Schools 23:44 ADHD Comorbidity And Systems 27:05 Tumbleweed Reading Tools 27:25 Dyslexia Services Spotlight 28:25 Research on Dual Deficits 30:11 Language Curriculum Results 31:09 Training and Fidelity 34:15 MTSS for Language 35:56 Why DLD Gets Missed 37:12 Integrating Language in Therapy 40:55 Partnering With SLPs 43:11 Parents Next Steps 44:38 Best DLD Resources Online 47:14 Lightning Round and Wrap 49:47 Final Sign Off

    The Dyslexia Duo: Neuroscience of Dyslexia: Genetics, Brain Differences, Stealth Dyslexia, and Early Identification with Dr. Fumiko Hoeft Aimee and Melissa host the Dyslexia Duo podcast and interview Dr. Fumiko Hoeft, a psychiatrist and neuroscience PhD who is Campus Dean and Chief Administrative Officer at the University of Connecticut’s Waterbury campus and a professor of psychological sciences, about dyslexia research and identification. Dr. Hoeft describes her path from psychiatry and cross modal integration research to dyslexia neuroscience at Stanford, and shares personal connections through her younger son’s dyslexia and her own suspected symptoms. The discussion covers polygenic, multifactorial genetic risk; variability even among twins; evolving definitions emphasizing neurodevelopmental basis, continuum, context, and psychosocial consequences; “stealth”/resilient dyslexia as strong comprehension despite weak decoding linked to dorsolateral prefrontal cortex; brain networks involved in reading and compensation; overlap with auditory processing disorder and ADHD; evidence cautions for interventions; and why early, written school referrals and early intervention reduce costs and social-emotional harm. 01:06 Introducing Dr. Fumiko Hoeft 02:38 Career Path to Dyslexia 04:12 Family Connection and Early Signs 06:20 Convincing Parents to Test 08:25 Genetics and Risk Factors 11:09 How Genes Are Studied 15:08 Defining Dyslexia Today 22:55 Stealth Dyslexia Explained 28:35 Brain Networks for Reading 37:12 Auditory Processing Overlap 43:19 Neural Noise Hypothesis 44:34 What Brain Noise Means 48:17 Diagnosing Dyslexia Right 51:15 Parent Documentation Tips 53:35 Working Memory Reality Check 57:09 Why Early Identification Matters 01:01:17 Preschool Risk vs Diagnosis 01:06:57 ADHD Dyslexia Overlap 01:13:45 Strength Based Remediation 01:17:19 Resources and Mentoring 01:20:45 Final Wish and Wrap Up

    The Dyslexia Duo: Dr. Margie Gillis on Dyslexia, Structured Literacy, and Why Teacher Coaching Matters Aimee and Melissa introduce their podcast, The Dyslexia Duo, and interview Dr. Margie Gillis, founder of the Connecticut nonprofit Literacy How, which provides coaching support for teachers from pre-K through high school. Dr. Gillis shares her personal and professional connection to dyslexia through family members and explains dyslexia as a neurobiological, hereditary, language-based learning disability often co-occurring with challenges such as ADHD, anxiety, dysgraphia, or dyscalculia. The conversation distinguishes instructional programs from instructional approaches like Orton-Gillingham and alphabetic phonics, clarifies structured literacy as language-structure content plus explicit, systematic, data-driven pedagogy, and discusses universal screeners, diagnostic assessment, and progress monitoring. They address insufficient teacher preparation and professional development, RTI/MTSS implementation problems, COVID learning loss, “dys-teach-ia,” and why districts avoid using the term dyslexia due to service costs, and Gillis recommends books and describes her Professional Learning Series. 00:00 Meet the Dyslexia Duo 01:06 Why Margie Gillis Matters 03:05 Interview Begins and Literacy How 04:51 Training Roots and Structured Literacy 08:01 Margie Origin Story and Family Dyslexia 10:25 School Pushback and Defining Dyslexia 19:56 Programs vs Approaches OG Explained 27:43 Structured Literacy and Curriculum Must Haves 32:47 Coaching Teachers and Better PD 39:51 RTI MTSS and the Wait to Fail Trap 47:30 Beyond the Score Report 50:33 COVID Learning Loss Debate 54:29 Dyslexia or Dyslexia 58:28 Why Universal Screeners Matter 01:03:16 Sharing Data With Families 01:08:22 Why Districts Avoid Dyslexia 01:12:24 Training Teachers Better 01:14:44 Advice for Parents Teachers 01:18:41 Book Recommendations Roundup 01:24:33 Comprehension and Vocabulary Focus 01:25:53 Closing Thanks and Signoff
