Episode 442: Russell Van Brocklen

Russell Van Brocklen, widely known as the Dyslexia Professor, transforms daily reading struggles into confident academic breakthroughs for students with dyslexia.

With a mission to rewrite how families and educators support struggling readers, Russell is challenging the outdated “wait and see” approach that too many parents still hear. Dyslexia affects up to 20% of learners—and early, informed action matters.

Combining decades of experience with structured literacy and the science of reading, Russell equips parents with clear, proven strategies they can start using immediately. His practical, step-by-step guidance empowers families to become advocates, not bystanders, in their child’s learning journey.
