Podcasts about Dyslexia

Dyslexia is one of the most common learning differences, yet it's still widely misunderstood. Tim Odegard, PhD, talks about how dyslexia is diagnosed and defined; his own experience growing up with dyslexia; how kids at risk can be identified early; what interventions work best; how reading difficulties can affect mental health; and why talking about the “gifts” of dyslexia can be problematic.

Send us a textHow do we treat our physical health versus our mental health? Former London Metropolitan Police officer Jonathan Kemp spent 12 years in law enforcement while battling undiagnosed bipolar disorder, depression, and dyslexia—yet refused to seek professional help until his late 30s."I was determined to fix myself on my own," Kemp reveals in this powerful conversation. "I saw it as an insult to go and see a doctor. It was a weakness or admission of defeat." This mindset, particularly prevalent among first responders and those in high-pressure careers, kept him struggling silently for decades before finally seeking the treatment that transformed his life.Kemp articulates the profound disconnect in how we approach different aspects of our wellbeing: "If you had a chronic knee problem, you'd go and see a knee specialist. It defies logic that we're happy to see a professional for the rest of our body, but when it comes to the brain, we have this almost inbuilt default that you should figure it out yourself." This insight cuts to the heart of why many resist mental health support despite overwhelming suffering.The conversation explores how structured environments like policing can sometimes mask mental health challenges, while shift work can exacerbate them by disrupting sleep patterns—what Kemp identifies as his "#1 foundation" for mental health stability. He shares practical advice for supporting struggling colleagues and navigating recovery resources when confidentiality concerns arise, especially in professions where stigma remains powerful.Now an advocate and author, Kemp discusses his upcoming book "Finding Peace of Mind" (releasing on World Mental Health Day) and his ambitious seven-month awareness walk across the British Isles beginning January 2026. Through both initiatives, he's transforming his decades of struggle into resources that might help others find support sooner.Visit Jonathan at the following links: https://www.viscountrochdale.com/https://www.facebook.com/jonathankemplondonhttps://www.instagram.com/Jonathankemplondonhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathankemplondonYou can order his book at Amazon: www.amazon.com/jonathankempFreed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Neurodiversity is a term that was recently coined in 1998 but the existence of differences in brains is as old as time. In this episode, we explore neurodiversity with Dr. Thomas Armstrong, author of The Power of Neurodiversity, Unleashing the Advantages of Your Neurodivergent Brain.  Dr. Armstrong explores 7 varieties of neurodiversity: Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Dyslexia, Intellectual Disabilities, Anxiety Disorders, Mood Disorders and Schizophrenia. He explores the advantages and challenges for each diagnosis and he is working to change the stigmas around them.  As he believes, "just as we celebrate biodiversity and cultural diversity, we need to celebrate neurodiversity, or the differences between human brains."

This week's episode is all about Reading. We will go through the entire process from the moment light hits the retina (50-100ms) to formulating speech (600ms or so). That is, either speaking out loud or silently speaking while reading, a phenomena called subvocalization. We do this when reading to the self. Either way, we speak while reading.We will compare so called normal readers, the Autistic phenotype, and dyslexia, and at times the odd contrasts of the Autistic phenotype AND dyslexia. Lots of neurobiology, measurement instruments, brain waves (oscillations, frequencies), however, I will hopefully provide easy to understand analogies.The entire reading process is covered.Daylight Computer Companyuse "autism" for $50 off athttps://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autismChroma Light Devicesuse "autism" for 10% discount athttps://getchroma.co/?ref=autismCognity AI for Autistic Social Skillsuse "autism" for 10% discount athttps://thecognity.com00:00 - Overview of reading process and neurobiology03:28 - Visual processing in V1 (primary visual cortex), V2-V4 (secondary visual cortex)4:42 - Neuroplasticity of Blind using V1-V4 for Braille07:17 - Neural oscillations (Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, Gamma)10:07 - Visual word form area (VWFA) recognizes patterns, begins sequencing letters & recognizes the word, Example: "d-o-g" & 'd' not 'b', 'o' not 'c,' 'g' not 'p.'13:01 - Phonological processing in temporal-parietal cortex15:54 - Fractional anisotropy (FA) & Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and arcuate fasciculus; Myelination, Water Flow, Garden Hose example18:06 - Detailed discussion of orthographic processing begins (VWFA's role in recognizing visual word forms)21:26 - Detailed discussion of cerebellum's role in eye movements begins (Purkinje cells and saccades)24:07 - Detailed discussion of spelling difficulties begins (orthographic processing challenges in autism/dyslexia)27:41 - Detailed discussion of semantic integration begins (delays in dyslexia, inferior frontal gyrus)30:55 - Detailed discussion of orthographic confusion begins (e.g., "except" vs. "expert")33:30 - Detailed discussion of phonological processing begins (temporal-parietal cortex mapping words to sounds)34:18 - Cerebellum mentioned regarding tongue movements (Purkinje cells refine timing for speech)36:10 - Subvocalization in silent reading37:07 - Oscillations in VWFA for autistic phenotype; Comprehension lags in Autism due to delayed N40039:19 Daylight Computer Company (and Daylight Kids !), use "autism" for $50 discount41:40 Chroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discount44:52 Reviews/Ratings, Contact InfoX: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

Postmenopausal changes can alter your perception of what is normal for your vision, sometimes in ways that go unseen. For example, blinking a few extra times to shake off the gritty feeling in the morning shouldn't be the norm. In fact, it could be your body dropping hints about something bigger going on with your eye health... and even your brain.  In this episode, Dr. Meenal Agarwal, a board-certified optometrist, explains the connection between eye health and the hormonal shifts postmenopausal women experience, and what you can do about it.  Listen now and start looking into your eyes to improve your health!

Has your family life been taken over by one child's learning differences? Do you worry about the invisible impact on your other children who seem to be "the easy ones"? We often pour so much energy into supporting our dyslexic children that we forget about their siblings. Today, we're talking about the overlooked family members in the dyslexia journey: the brothers and sisters who might feel invisible, confused, or even resentful. In this episode you'll discover why they may feel guilty about their own success, take on adult responsibilities, or struggle with a feeling that their needs always come second. This is a conversation that will help you learn how to navigate these complex family dynamics, talk about learning differences in an age-appropriate way, and ensure every child feels seen, valued, and celebrated for who they are.

Topics Covered: Why siblings of children with dyslexia often feel overlooked and resentful, and what you can do to help them feel seen [1:03] The ways dyslexia can affect the entire family system, and the unexpected impact it has on typically developing siblings [1:31] How a child's role as the "easy one" can lead to them taking on inappropriate responsibilities and hiding their own academic success [1:52] What resentment and perfectionism in adulthood can reveal about the lasting impact of growing up with a dyslexic sibling [3:06] Strategies for giving appropriate attention to each child by understanding the difference between equal and fair [4:09] How open communication and celebrating each child's unique strengths can build a balanced and supportive family [5:30] Key Takeaways Dyslexia affects the entire family, not just the child who has it. It's important to understand that the "easy" child has needs, too. The key to a balanced family isn't giving every child the exact same amount of attention, but rather giving each child the appropriate attention and support they need as an individual.

Welcome to Season 5 of Together in Literacy! We're thrilled to be back and thank you for joining us. In this episode we're kicking off our new season by setting the scene for the overarching topic that will inform our conversations: What do students with dyslexia really need? The answer may sound familiar: more than just phonics! Our students need a comprehensive approach that sees the whole learner. We'll talk about this in-depth this season, with topics like going beyond explicit phonics, decoding, executive function, layered and responsive instruction, metacognition, and self-advocacy strategies.

In this podcast episode, Stephen Martin discusses five key indicators that may suggest an adult has dyslexia. He emphasizes the importance of understanding these traits to better support oneself or others who may be dyslexic. The conversation covers storytelling as a common trait, challenges in processing words amidst noise, emotional object permanence, cause and effect disconnect, and quick frustration when interrupted. Stephen also highlights the broader context of neurodiversity and the significance of recognizing these traits for personal growth and improvement.TakeawaysMany adults discover their dyslexia later in life.Storytelling is a common trait among dyslexic thinkers.Processing words in noisy environments can be challenging for dyslexics.Emotional object permanence affects how dyslexics perceive relationships.Dyslexics may struggle with cause and effect reasoning.Quick frustration can occur when a dyslexic person is interrupted.Neurodiversity includes a range of conditions like ADHD and autism.Recognizing dyslexic traits can lead to better support and understanding.Personal growth often comes from understanding one's neurodivergent brain.Many people may not realize they have a dyslexic brain. Dyslexia, adult dyslexia, neurodiversity, dyslexic traits, emotional object permanence, storytelling, processing words, cause and effect, frustration, support, ADHD, adults with dyslexia, support for adults.Join the clubrightbrainresetters.comGet 20% off your first orderhttps://addednutrition.comIf you want to find out more visit:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠truthaboutdyslexia.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our Facebook Group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/groups/adultdyslexia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Carson was diagnosed with dyslexia as a child and, after third grade, received instruction at the Lindamood-Bell Learning Center in Tampa. There, he developed the skills he needed to become a strong reader while building lasting confidence. Today, he is a college graduate working in the financial services industry and remains deeply grateful to his mother and the Lindamood-Bell instructors who helped shape his future. In this heartfelt episode, Carson reflects on his journey and shares a powerful story of perseverance and the long-term benefits of evidence-based instruction.

In this episode, I'm sitting down with Alice Ayliffe and Elise Cassidy — two incredible therapists and Incubator graduates — to explore what it really looks like to move beyond the 1:1 model and create programs that change lives.If you've ever wondered, Where do I even start? Will anyone want what I create? What if I get it wrong? — this conversation is for you.Alice is an occupational therapist based in Hobart who has carved out a powerful niche supporting adults with ADHD and training other OTs to work in this space. Elise is a Melbourne-based speech pathologist with nearly 30 years of experience, who has turned her deep passion for dyslexia advocacy into online programs and resources for parents and schools.Neither of them had it “all figured out.” They both wrestled with doubts about burnout, regulation, self-belief, and fear of judgment from peers. But through the Incubator, they found clarity, community, and the confidence to build programs that not only generate income but also expand their impact far beyond the therapy room.In this episode, Alice and Elise share the barriers they had to push through, the wins they've achieved, and the advice they'd give to any therapist standing where they once stood.HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:Burnout can be a signal, not the end. Both Alice and Elise hit walls in their careers that forced them to look beyond the traditional therapy path. That pain became the nudge toward innovation.Fear of judgment is universal — but it's survivable. Whether it was Elise worrying about peers judging her for charging for her knowledge, or Alice fearing regulatory trouble, both show that self-doubt doesn't disqualify you.Programs expand your reach without diluting your expertise. Dyslexia advocacy, ADHD-affirming practice, and OT supervision are now impacting parents, schools, and other clinicians — proof that your clinical skills are needed in new spaces.RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:The Therapist Rising Incubator – For therapists ready to create their first sustainable online program with ongoing support: therapistsrising.com/incubatorConnect with Alice Ayliffe:Website: aliceayliffe.comFacebook: Alice Ayliffe ConsultingConnect with Elise Cassidy:Website: littlevoices.net.auFacebook: Little Voices Speech PathologyInstagram: @littlevoicesspeechpathologyMORE FROM DR.

Dyslexia affects as many as 15–20% of learners, yet most families still hear the words “wait and see.” Russell Van Brocklen—known as The Dyslexia Professor—is flipping that script.

In this inspiring conversation, we dive into:Why dyslexic kids are specialists, not generalistsHow multisensory routines beat generic worksheets every timeThe first step parents can take to rebuild their child's confidence in readingStories of students who went from frustration to lasting successWhat “forever confidence” looks like for a dyslexic learnerWhether you're a parent, educator, or simply passionate about helping kids thrive, Russell's wisdom will change the way you see learning—and give you hope for progress before the next report card.https://mailchi.mp/dcacd9a6f9ae/3-reasons-ebookhttps://dyslexiaclasses.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Thank you for tuning in to I Am Refocused Radio.

From golfers, tennis players, and race car drivers to Olympic fencers, swimmers, and archers, he has helped transform raw talent into elite performance by enhancing reaction time, depth perception, and visual coordination. He even consults with teams on draft and free-agent decisions by evaluating athletes’ visual potential. Featured in The New York Post, The New York Times Magazine, and on CBS, NBC, and MindBodyGreen, Dr. Appelbaumwas named the 2022 Future of Health Award recipient at the Mindshare Leadership Summit.

[REBROADCAST FROM March 17, 2025] When comedian Phil Hanley hit the first grade, he started to realize that while his classmates were learning to read, he couldn't seem to make any progress.

In this episode of the Dyslexia Explored Podcast, host Darius Namdaran is joined by Liam Hughes of Biggerplate to discuss mind mapping as a powerful tool for individuals with dyslexia. Liam shares his personal story of discovering mind mapping software in university, which helped him overcome his struggles as a slow reader and pass critical exams. They explore the history of mind mapping, the differences between hand-drawn and digital versions, and how it functions as a "thinking tool" to organize complex information rather than just a note-taking method. The conversation also covers how mind mapping aligns with learning science principles like dual coding and schemas and supports executive functions that can be challenging for those with dyslexia.

Today we tackle the common issue of how parents should handle planned emancipation when their teenager carries one or more diagnoses like ADHD or Oppositional Defiant Disorder or Autism Spectrum Disorder or Dyslexia or Depression or Anxiety or Trauma etc. etc. etc. This question comes up a lot! Dr. Ken's take is clear and freeing—the diagnosis shapes how you coach but not whether you give freedoms. Parents can adjust their approach, offer tools, and expect some natural consequences, but lowering the bar only delays the growth they'll need when the world stops making accommodations. If you have a minute, please leave us a review. We love hearing listeners encouraging other listeners. You can order Dr. Ken's book "Feeding The Mouth That Bites You" here.Got questions or feedback?

Please enjoy our last re-release of favorite episodes before we launch season five! This one looks at the Science of Reading: The recent movement to look deeply into the Science of Reading (SOR) has shifted the training we seek for teachers, the training and programs endorsed at the state level, and the curriculum school districts purchase. So, why are our students still not reading and writing proficiently? Is it the instruction, curriculum, or teacher training and knowledge that is seriously impacting learning outcomes? Or, is it a combination of all three factors? In this episode, we discuss the SOR movement and why some students, particularly those with dyslexia, seem to be getting lost in the debate.

Send us a textWe're kicking off with the Ravens vs Bills showdown, why Josh Allen was the MVP and why Lamar Jackson did nothing wrong in shoving that fan who shoved his helmet.Then we dive into the Miami Dolphins meltdown and explain what they need to do with Tyreek Hill to win. When you make Daniel Jones look like Patrick Mahomes it might be time to blow it up in Miami.We discuss 49ers defense being back and discuss if they are destined for a Super Bowl run with the easiest schedule in the NFL.We discuss the Cleveland Browns' brutal five-game stretch (Ravens, Packers, Lions, Vikings, Steelers) and determine If they end up 0-6, is it time to turn to Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. We discuss the Caleb Williams takedown piece with anonymous sources weaponizing Caleb Williams alleged dyslexia as a sign that he isn't good enough or is lesser than. Dyslexia isn't a weakness. It's a different way of learning, often tied to enhanced creativity and leadership. The article and apparent smear campaign is cowardly.Viral Spiral:    •    Bill Belichick reportedly banning Patriots from UNC's facility

As the founder of Kids Up Reading Tutors, she's built a team of 20 specialists who help students all across the country overcome dyslexia, dysgraphia and other reading challenges. Their approach is evidence-based and efficient.  Students typically get caught up to their classmates in months rather than years. This accelerated progress stems from rigorous application of current research into how students learn to read and spell, sometimes referred to as the "Science of Reading." They've developed a structured literacy program that is then tailored to each student's specific needs, combining phonological awareness, Orton-Gillingham-based phonics and systematic spelling instruction. Their one-on-one virtual sessions create a judgment-free environment where struggling readers develop both skills and confidence—turning "I HATE Reading" into "I LOVE Reading!"   CONTACT THE GUEST:   www.KidsUpReadingTutors.com Daniela@KidsUpReadingTutors.com www.linkedin.com/in/daniela-feldhausen-kidsupreadingtutors https://www.facebook.com/KidsUpReadingTutors FREEBIE:: https://www.kidsupreadingtutors.com/red-flags-dyslexia   YOUR NEXT STEPS:   Email hello@thelanguageofplay.com for a REPLAY of the webinar.
