What if educating your people so well that they could leave was exactly the point? At Your Health, that's not a risk to manage — it's the philosophy that built an entire learning ecosystem. In this episode, Jamie talks with Aubrey Wall, who came to Your Health from a background in education and now leads Your Health University, the organization's learning management system and continuous-development engine. Aubrey brings an educator's eye to a fast-evolving healthcare environment, where best practice changes by the day and meeting patients where they are demands that staff never stop learning. Here's what you'll hear: Why a healthcare company runs 12-month, Department of Labor–registered apprenticeships — including programs in management, value-based care, population health, and hospice aide preparation How gamification is being built into nurse instruction (straight from Aubrey's dissertation research) The difference between Your Health University (your classroom) and the Hub (your resource library) How LinkedIn Learning delivered roughly $4.2 million in CEUs to staff last year Meeting Leah — the new AI assistant that helps employees find exactly the right course If you've ever believed growing your people is a cost rather than the whole point, this conversation will change how you think. Press play, then go ask Leah a question. www.YourHealth.Org

Ep. 526 | Dyslexia & Elite Athletes: The Hidden Sports AdvantageSports Chasers Interview Sessions | June 8, 2026Muhammad Ali. Magic Johnson. Tim Tebow. Nolan Ryan. Elite. Decorated. Legendary. And all dyslexic. In this Sports Chasers Interview Session, host Kevin L. Warren sits down with Russell Van Brocklen — The Dyslexia Professor — for one of the most unexpected and powerful conversations in Sports Chasers history.Russell draws on Yale-based science from Dr. Sally Shaywitz's Overcoming Dyslexia to explain why dyslexic learners aren't broken — they're built differently. And in high-strategy positions like quarterback, that difference may be an outright competitive advantage.

In this episode of Thriving in Intersectionality, Dr. Lola Adeyemo sits down with Russell Van Brocklen, dyslexia educator, researcher, and advocate, for a conversation about learning differences, identity, confidence, and human potential.The conversation begins with a reminder that intersectionality extends beyond the identities we immediately see. Learning differences, educational experiences, and the systems that shape opportunity also influence how people move through the world, develop confidence, and see themselves.Russell shares his personal journey growing up with dyslexia, navigating educational systems that often underestimated his abilities, and facing years of frustration, labels, and barriers. Despite being told what he could not achieve, Russell went on to develop innovative approaches to supporting students with dyslexia and helping families access tools that build confidence and academic success.Together, Dr. Lola and Russell explore how learning differences impact identity, the importance of looking beyond traditional definitions of intelligence, and the role that schools, families, and communities play in helping people reach their full potential.This conversation is not just about dyslexia.It's about what happens when we focus on people's strengths instead of their struggles.In This Episode, We Discuss:Understanding dyslexia beyond common misconceptionsHow learning differences shape identity and confidenceNavigating educational systems that were not designed for every learnerThe relationship between labels and human potentialRussell's personal journey from struggling student to dyslexia educatorWhy intelligence and learning style are not the same thingSupporting students through strengths-based approachesThe role of parents, educators, and communities in student successCreating more accessible pathways to learningBuilding confidence through accomplishment and belongingAbout the GuestRussell Van Brocklen is a dyslexia educator, researcher, and advocate who helps students and families overcome academic barriers through innovative learning approaches. Drawing on both professional expertise and lived experience, he develops accessible strategies that help students with dyslexia strengthen reading, writing, and academic confidence while focusing on their strengths and long-term potential.Learn more about his work at Dyslexia Classes.Reflection QuestionWhat assumptions might we be making about someone's potential based solely on the way they learn, communicate, or process information?Send us Fan MailSupport the showThank you for listening to Thriving in Intersectionality with Dr. Lola Adeyemo.This podcast explores how identity, lived experience, and leadership intersect in today's workplace and beyond.

In this episode of the Dyslexia Explored Podcast, hosts Darius Namdaran and Jo Lee speak with Alex Chaparro, a former realtor of 37 years who became an author and neurodiversity coach. Alex explains how his journal, originally a private operations manual, unexpectedly became his book The Dreamer's Guide to Achieving in Uncertain Times, rooted in erasing limiting labels and rewriting his own narrative. He describes early school experiences of being unable to read, bullying, and creatively hiding difficulties, then a seventh-grade shift where he rapidly improved his reading level. The conversation explores impostor syndrome, perfectionism, disclosure, and redefining labels' “small print.” Alex shares returning to finish college with accommodations, his later ADHD diagnosis, and how self-acceptance helped him lose 200 pounds, regain mobility, and find joy and purpose in coaching.This podcast is sponsored by ivvi.

Evelyn was diagnosed with dyslexia as a child and spent much of her early education struggling to read and keep up in school. After moving to the United States in high school, she received Lindamood-Bell instruction that transformed her learning experience. She went on to attend her first-choice college, earn her degree, and build a successful career as a UI designer in the technology industry. In this episode, Evelyn reflects on the challenges she overcame and why she's passionate about helping others look beyond a diagnosis and recognize the strengths of individuals with dyslexia.

On Tuesday, the actor Tom Holland said on Amy Poheler's podcast ‘Good Hang with Amy Poehler' how he felt he had to turn down work with Saturday Night Live because of his dyslexia, as he felt he wouldn't be able to read the cue cards fast enough for the show…So, is dyslexia a common obstacle for people in their professional life?Joining Shane to share his story is Rory O'Connor, better known as ‘Rory's Stories' online.

Dyslexic entrepreneur and Talamo co-founder Jamie Wace joins Ben for a conversation about why so many children with dyslexia are still being missed - and how technology could radically change access to support.Jamie reflects on his own experience of school, including being told not to pursue subjects he loved because his dyslexia was misunderstood. He shares how years working in tech and entrepreneurship eventually led him to question why dyslexia assessment systems remained so inaccessible, expensive and outdated.Together, they explore the emotional impact of unidentified learning differences, why schools often rely on “wait until they fail” models, and how understanding a child's cognitive profile can shift the conversation from blame to support. Jamie also unpacks the future of assistive technology, overlapping neurodivergent conditions, and why early identification could change life trajectories for millions of children.Join us at hidden20.org/donate.________Host: Ben BransonProduction Manager: Phoebe De LeiburnéVideo Editor: James ScrivenSocial Media Manager: Charlie YoungMusic: Jackson GreenbergHead of Marketing: Kristen Fuller00:00 Introduction01:30 Jamie Wace's Dyslexia Story05:07 Being Told Not To Take History GCSE Because of Dyslexia06:00 Has Awareness of Dyslexia Actually Improved?08:31 Why Schools Need To Understand Cognitive Profiles08:48 How Talamo Was Created09:54 The Statistic That Changed Everything: 80% of Dyslexic Children Go Undiagnosed10:21 Why Traditional Dyslexia Assessments Don't Scale19:19 Dyslexia, ADHD & Understanding The Whole Child29:24 The Future of Assistive Technology For Neurodivergent Students31:16 Dyslexia, Schools & Assistive Technology In The Classroom40:32 Early Dyslexia Screening & Why Schools Are Changing44:24 Why Dyslexic People Often Make Great Communicators46:20 Dyslexia, ADHD & Neurodivergent Overlap50:51 Building Talamo For Impact, Not Profit55:46 Jamie's Green Dot BadgeThe Hidden 20% is a charity founded by AuDHD entrepreneur, Ben Branson.Our mission is simple: To change how the world sees neurodivergence.No more stigma.

In this Season 5 finale, Emily and Casey return to their central question: What do students with dyslexia really need? Drawing on short clips from guests including Dr. Melissa Orkin, Sarah Gannon, Dr. David Kilpatrick, Dr. Rosine Dougherty, Dr. Jacob Santhouse, Aliyah Banchik, Nancy Duggan, and Deon Butler, they explore how effective support reaches beyond reading skills alone. They also talk about themes of explicit, evidence-based instruction, thoughtful use of authentic text, flexible and diagnostic teaching, and the emotional experiences of students with dyslexia, including self-acceptance, confidence, and mental health. The episode looks at how families, schools, and systems share responsibility, and how offering multiple ways for students to show what they know can change their day-to-day experience in school.

MacKenzie Green is back, and she's now the Global Head of Social for Audible! Listen to hear about: How MacKenzie grew up dyslexic, relied heavily on audiobooks to keep up in school, and never imagined she would one day become Head of Global Social at Audible. Why people should read what they actually enjoy, DNF books that aren't working, and use whatever format—audio, ebook, or print—helps them engage with stories. How asking people what they were reading helped her build relationships, conduct informational interviews, and create meaningful follow-up conversations throughout her career, which all culminated in her new job at Audible. How reading is a way to understand other perspectives, strengthen listening skills, and connect with people through shared stories, and how audiobooks are a return to the oldest form of storytelling: oral tradition.

Kezia grew up as a pastor's kid in a church full of elderly people, then she went to KYCK in Year & and thought: there are people my age who believe this.Kezia joins Joel and Ethan for a conversation that's funny, fresh, and surprisingly wise for someone still figuring out what comes next. She talks about growing up in a congregation where she was surrounded by grandparent-aged friends, learning to love reading despite her dyslexia, and the Instagram reel that made her cry after a breakup and feel, for the first time, like God was speaking directly to her.She also shares one of the most creative frameworks for understanding the fruit of the spirit ever heard on this podcast — each fruit assigned to a different fruit, each year of life shaped by a different virtue — and the journey of slowly realising that ADHD, dysgraphia and anxiety don't define her. God does.From a Fiji mission trip that overwhelmed and reshaped her, to church streaming during COVID, to interior design at TAFE and a job at Betty's Burgers at the airport, Kezia has learnt that God doesn't let anything go to waste. Not the hard seasons, not the uncertain ones, not even the ones where she had no idea what she was doing.

In this episode of the Dyslexia Explored Podcast, hosts Darius Namdaran and Jo Lee speak with dyslexia specialist tutor and consultant Glynda Cullen about a parent's long journey raising two daughters with dyslexia and ADHD, including the guilt and emotional impact of late diagnoses. Glynda shares early signs in nursery and primary school, her daughter's growing anxiety and emotionally based school avoidance, and how limited teacher training and systemic pressures affected support, with accommodations only appearing at GCSEs. The conversation explores current SEND changes in England, inclusion expectations, and how tools like ivvi Notes can scaffold executive function in classrooms. Glynda describes her daughter's path after school, finding confidence and “her tribe” through training protection dogs and building a dog training business, highlighting the importance of cultivating strengths beyond academics.This podcast is sponsored by ivvi.

Does your child wake up exhausted, struggle to focus at school, or toss and turn all night long? Most parents never connect those symptoms to something as seemingly simple as how their child breathes. But the way their jaw develops could be driving more of their health challenges than you ever imagined. In this episode, Dr. Ben Miraglia, a dentist with over 30 years of experience and more than 20 years specializing in early childhood jaw growth and development, reveals why waiting until age 12 for braces could be the biggest missed opportunity in your child's health. He explains the surprising link between jaw size, nasal breathing, sleep quality, and the behavioral symptoms that often get labeled as ADHD, and shares what parents can do about it starting as early as age three. Listen now and start your child on the path to healthier breathing today!

In this inspiring episode, Tracey Lyons-Tozier joins host Robert Plank to discuss her mission of helping families navigate the world of special education, neurodiversity, and self-advocacy through her powerful children's book series, Mama Bulldog Books. Drawing from her experience as a master's-level clinical social worker, professional education advocate, and parent of children with autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities, Tracey shares how personal struggles, including a devastating legal battle with a school district, inspired her to empower other families facing similar challenges. https://youtu.be/mVcPLgoPCBs?si=0FIy3JNFI57NVS3h Whether you're a parent, teacher, advocate, or simply someone passionate about inclusion and education, this episode delivers practical insights, emotional encouragement, and hope for families navigating special education and neurodiversity. Throughout the conversation, Tracey explains how books like Benny Speaks Up, Fiona Finds What's Fair, and Mikey Can't Help It help children better understand autism, ADHD, dyslexia, IEPs, 504 plans, bullying, fairness, and emotional regulation. She reveals why teaching children to advocate for themselves is one of the most important life skills parents can nurture and why compassion and understanding are critical for both neurodivergent and neurotypical kids alike. Tracey also opens up about the emotional realities of parenting children with special needs, the challenges families face in the education system, and the importance of having advocates during IEP meetings. She shares details about her upcoming ADHD-focused book, Abby and Jack Aren't Bad Dogs: Mama Bulldog Tackles ADHD, which explores hyperactive, inattentive, and combined ADHD presentations through relatable family storytelling. Quotes: “Fair isn't everybody getting exactly the same thing. It's everybody getting what they need to learn.” “Not being timid and silent, not being angry or aggressive, but being calm and assertive—even when you're scared—that's how children learn to advocate for themselves.” “I promised myself at that moment that if I could keep anybody from hearing ‘Google it,' I would.” Contact Details: Connect with Tracey Lyons-Tozier on Facebook Follow Tracey Lyons-Tozier on Instagram Connect with Tracey Lyons-Tozier on LinkedIn Fiona Finds What's Fair (Mama Bulldog Book) on Amazon Tracey Lyons-Tozier Official Website

In this episode of the Twiniversity Podcast, Natalie talks with Christy-Faith, homeschool advocate, author of Homeschool Rising, education expert, and twin mom, about home-based learning, school-aged twins, and why homeschooling looks very different today than it did a generation ago. Christy-Faith shares her own path to motherhood, including secondary infertility, IVF, fraternal twin girls, a surprise fourth baby, and the hard reality of parenting twins through the early years. She also opens up about her professional background in education, including running a learning intervention and tutoring center in Los Angeles before eventually choosing home education for her own family. Natalie and Christy-Faith talk honestly about the fears many parents have around homeschooling - socialization, academics, family support, whether it is “too weird,” and whether parents are qualified to do it. Christy explains why she prefers the term home-based education, because modern homeschooling can include co-ops, live online classes, outside teachers, homeschool pods, interest-led learning, and a strong community. The conversation also explores what happens when school is not working for your child. Natalie shares her own regrets about not exploring more flexible school options when her twins were younger, including the feeling that her kids were on a “runaway horse” in a system that did not always fit who they were. This episode is a validating and thought-provoking conversation for twin parents who are questioning the traditional school path, wondering what options exist, or simply wanting permission to ask: Is there another way to educate my kids?

This month, we are replaying episode 212 of Diverse Thinking, Different Learning, in which Dr. Karen Wilson discusses the ways in which dyslexia can affect a child's mental wellbeing. Even though dyslexia is commonly associated with reading and language difficulties, the emotional implications are far too often overlooked, and Dr. Wilson unpacks some of the harmful myths that have shaped the public understanding of dyslexia for decades, including the assumption that reading struggles are tied to intelligence. She explains how those misconceptions can affect self-esteem, delay diagnosis, and leave children feeling isolated or incapable. Drawing from research and real-world examples, Dr. Wilson explores the connection between dyslexia, anxiety, depression, and social withdrawal, especially during critical school years when children are forming their sense of self.  She also highlights how exhausting reading can feel for students with dyslexia, both mentally and emotionally, and why that exhausting effort is so often misunderstood. Dr. Wilson goes into the additional challenges that many children face when dyslexia overlaps with ADHD or anxiety disorders, along with the unfortunate stigma that can come from being pulled out for specialized instruction. At the same time, however, this episode offers hope. Dr. Wilson stresses the importance of early identification, evidence-based support, and environments that help children recognize their strengths. She also shares encouraging research on resilience and self-advocacy, reminding listeners that dyslexia is only one part of a person's story, so whether you're a parent, educator, advocate, or someone living with dyslexia yourself, this episode is sure to offer research-backed insight, compassion, and a broader understanding of what support truly looks like! Show Notes: [0:00] - May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and Dr. Wilson is re-airing an episode about children with dyslexia. [1:43] - Dr. Wilson explores dyslexia myths and their damaging effects on self-esteem and mental health.

This episode features a rich conversation with author and educator M. Colleen Cruz about her new book, Neurodiversity in the Literacy Classroom: The General Educator's Guide to IEPs, Dyslexia, ADHD, Autism, and More. Colleen shares the story behind the book and explains why information about neurodivergent learners must move out of special education silos and into every general education classroom. Melanie, Stacey, and Colleen explore universal design for learning (UDL), explicit writing instruction, and concrete strategies to reduce instructional obstacles so that vulnerable learners can fully participate. They also discuss strengths-based IEPs, collaboration between general and special educators, and practical classroom strategies—from fine-motor supports to executive-function scaffolds—that help all writers, not just those with identified disabilities. Throughout the episode, Colleen emphasizes curiosity as a core stance for teachers seeking to better understand students' behaviors, needs, and potential in the writing workshop.M.

In this episode of the Dyslexia Explored Podcast, hosts Darius Namdaran and Jo Lee speak with Ellie Barbour, a candlemaker and content creator who recently left her job as a high school PE teacher to pursue her business full time. Ellie shares being identified as dyslexic in primary school, receiving a formal diagnosis in later primary, and the impact of confidence, stigma, and support such as Touch Type Read and Spell. She describes a difficult first year of high school with missed support, followed by a pivotal move to Morrison's Academy where small classes, learning support, and mind mapping transformed her study strategies, including using a scribe in exams. The conversation explores dyslexia strengths, teaching as a role model, possible ADHD, and how her all-in focus helped grow her taper-candle business from a lockdown hobby to markets and beyond.This podcast is sponsored by ivvi.

In this episode, we sit down with orthopedic surgeon Owen Ala, whose journey to the operating room began in rural Alaska. Owen talks about his challenges with severe dyslexia, being placed in "remedial" reading groups, and the humiliating moment his high school peers laughed at him when he struggled to read aloud in his first AP class. Compounding his struggles were financial insecurity and a professor's prediction that he would only ever be a "C minus" student.Owen shares the details of his creating his future, which included grueling 14-hour study days, and the "do or die" pressure of paying for every cent of his own education, as well as the spiritual turning point in a college library that changed the way he approached his work. This is a deeply personal look at how a kid with "nothing to his name" relied on faith, relentless persistence, and a competitive "hockey player" mindset to become one of the top students in his class and eventually a highly respected orthopedic surgeon.

Head of School of The Windward School and Executive Director of The Windward Institute, Jamie Williamson, speaks to New York State Assembly Member Jo Anne Simon about Dyslexia Advocacy Day at the New York State Capitol, created to build understanding, center student stories, and connect families with legislators. They discuss progress in public awareness and funding, implementation fidelity, and misconceptions about individuals with dyslexia.AM Simon highlights policy efforts including the Right to Read Act, universal screening, higher-ed teacher training requirements, revised exams/regulations, and supports like micro-credentials and communities of practice, emphasizing early screening paired with effective intervention and sustained, practical training.

Nearly 20% of school-aged children in the U.S. are affected by dyslexia, making it the most common learning disability—yet for many families, the journey can feel overwhelming and isolating.   In today's episode, Julie Tapscott, who shared at our Vestavia, Alabama gathering, opens up about her son's dyslexia diagnosis and the path that followed. With a mother's determination and deep faith, Julie pursued understanding, learned how to advocate within the school system, and discovered practical ways to support her son's unique needs.   If you or someone you love is walking this road (or any other learning difficulty with their child), this episode offers encouragement, practical wisdom, and a reminder that you are not alone—God is present, He is at work, and He is writing your child's story.   VERSE OF THE WEEK: For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb… Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.  - Psalm 138:13;16   CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: God created you and your child uniquely.

Rawa Jawad Quinn is a dentist-turned-tech founder whose restless energy and refusal to be underestimated have shaped every chapter of her career. In this episode, she tells Payman about growing up in Chelsea after her Iraqi family fled Kuwait with nothing, studying in Liverpool, and working across 16 dental practices before channelling her frustrations into Medicube — a consent and patient communication platform built to give associates the consistency they've never had. The conversation takes some wonderfully unexpected detours into quantum physics, telepathy, AI-driven futures and the spiritual experiences that Rawa can't quite explain but absolutely trusts. There's also plenty of practical wisdom on occlusion, practice culture and what it really takes to bootstrap a dental tech start-up while raising a three-year-old without a nanny.In This Episode00:00:45 – Introduction and welcome00:01:25 – Growing up on the Kings Road and childhood in Chelsea00:03:30 – Studying dentistry in Liverpool and reinvention00:07:00 – Dyslexia diagnosis and learning differently00:10:10 – The itch beyond dentistry00:14:00 – Fleeing Kuwait, starting over in the UK00:16:25 – Why her parents' medical careers put her off medicine00:18:05 – Ambition, being underestimated and self-belief00:23:15 – Spirituality, connectedness and trusting intuition00:26:10 – Wanting it all — motherhood, marriage and a start-up00:31:00 – Lessons from 16 dental practices00:36:25 – Working in corporates and at Bupa00:41:20 – NHS vs private practice00:45:15 – The birth of Medicube00:48:30 – How Medicube works and pilot results00:55:55 – Finding a co-founder and the UCL connection00:58:50 – Funding through grants, awards and bootstrapping01:03:25 – AI, the Turing test and the future of work01:10:25 – Robots, relationships and what makes us human01:22:55 – Physics, multiverse theory and keeping an open mind01:28:40 – Blackbox thinking01:33:40 – A patient with buyer's remorse after crown preps01:36:55 – Occlusion, full mouth rehabs and the Dawson Academy01:43:20 – Tech conferences and the reality of being a founder01:47:05 – Fantasy dinner partyAbout Rawa Jawad QuinnRawa Jawad Quinn is a dentist based in Belfast, currently working at Bupa, with a particular interest in full mouth rehabilitation cases.

Send us Fan MailRussell Van Brocklen, a New York State Senate-funded dyslexia researcher, discussed his method for overcoming dyslexia using the University of Chicago's "The Craft of Research." He shared his journey from overcoming his own dyslexia through law school's Socratic method to creating a successful dyslexia program, achieving significant improvements in students' reading and writing skills at a fraction of the cost of other programs. Russel also introduced a method using AI and universal themes to help individuals, like those struggling with Bulimia, by refining their goals and identifying causes and solutions. He emphasized the importance of human expertise in refining AI-generated insights.This is the abridged version of this wonderful Podcast with Russell.  This Podcast is so worth listening to.  I was amazed how a process of helping with dyslexia can be transferred to helping someone struggling with bulimia.Very interesting conversation and lovely guest.  You can reach out to Russell by visiting his site at https://dyslexiaclasses.com/Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

In this episode of the Dyslexia Explored Podcast, hosts Darius Namdaran and Jo Lee speak with Dr. Tara Williams, a chemistry professor in California and former Sussex PhD graduate, about how executive function often drives difficulties when students transition from high school to university. Williams describes the social and practical upheaval of moving away from home, the need to self-advocate for accommodations, and how unstructured time, shifting deadlines, and planning demands can overwhelm neurodiverse students. They define executive functioning as planning, organization, and time management, discuss accommodations such as extra exam time, quiet rooms, note takers, and flexible grading for spelling-heavy subjects, and emphasize early preparation, body doubling, reading and note-taking habits, and building supportive relationships with faculty and campus services.

Debut novelist Debra Curtis on teaching herself to write by copying poems by hand as a dyslexic child, using contemporary novels as craft manuals to learn structure, meeting the Dalai Lama, the importance of radical forgiveness & publishing her first novel in her sixties after years of rejection.  You'll learn: Why copying poems by hand into a composition notebook secretly teaches a dyslexic child to write. The hospital-bed moment with her dying father that became a three-decade family motto. A vision at a marina, a prescription bottle, and the woman who became her protagonist. What hundreds of rejections actually teach you about persistence. Using contemporary novels as instructional guides while drafting your own. How a psychic's prophecy and a chance encounter in Paris both pointed toward the same agent. Finding your future agent's name in the acknowledgments of a book you've never read. The big editorial note that hurts to hear, and why listening anyway is still the right call. Radical forgiveness as the emotional heart of a novel. The writing ritual built around a sleep mask, noise-cancelling headphones, and a sound machine. Resources & Links:

We are so thrilled to have not just one guest this episode but two -  Adrianne Meldrum and Heather Brand! Adrianne Meldrum founded and owns Made for Math, a fully online math center that supports students with dyslexia, dyscalculia, and other math-related learning challenges. She is a certified Multisensory Math Instructor and holds a master's degree from Bridges Graduate School of Cognitive Diversity. Adrianne lives in Arizona with her husband and three sons, where she enjoys the beautiful sunsets. Heather Brand, M.Ed., is a licensed educator with two decades of experience teaching students from Kindergarten through 12th grade. She currently works at Made for Math, supporting learners with dyslexia, dyscalculia, and other learning differences, and holds certifications in multisensory math instruction and reading intervention. Heather is passionate about sharing practical, structured strategies that help teachers confidently support all students while making math engaging and enjoyable. In this episode of the show, we unpack why dyscalculia is so hard to identify and why it often overlaps with conditions such as dyslexia and ADHD/ADD. In fact, Adrianne and Heather talk about how many of the students whom they see arrive with multiple diagnoses, and that raises a truly important question: when a child struggles with math, what's really causing the difficulty? Throughout our conversation, we take a look at how professionals sort through those overlapping factors, and Adrianne and Heather explain how assessments can reveal specific types of math struggles, whether they involve language, memory, sequencing, or foundational number sense, and they explain why understanding the root cause is so important. We also talk through some real classroom scenarios and case studies that showcase how these challenges actually take place in everyday learning. From students who can perform calculations but freeze when faced with word problems, to those who mix up the direction of their work or struggle to recall math facts, all of these examples help clarify what educators and parents should watch out for. In addition, we discuss practical strategies that can help students succeed! Adrianne and Heather share some approaches that build on understanding, strengthen math fact retrieval, and reduce the working memory load that can often overwhelm students, especially those with ADHD. They also touch upon how simple environmental changes, such as minimizing distractions and organizing information more clearly, can dramatically improve learning. Perhaps most importantly, however, we discuss how the right kind of instruction doesn't just improve math performance. It can actually rebuild confidence and reduce the anxiety that often accompanies math struggles! Enjoy our conversation with Adrianne Meldrum and Heather Brand! Show Notes: [3:56] - Dyscalculia is often diagnosed late and overlaps with other conditions, further complicating diagnosis. [6:44] - Early math struggles so often go unnoticed, yet they affect multiple areas alongside reading or attention difficulties. [9:50] - Students may calculate correctly but fail at word problems because of language or vocabulary challenges. [10:37] - Heather reflects on multi-diagnosed students who often show math difficulties that overlap with dyslexia, ADHD, or dysgraphia symptoms. [12:47] - When Heather assesses, she assesses whether math struggles stem from dyscalculia or other diagnoses. [15:30] - Observing students' problem-solving can help reveal specific issues such as directionality, that are separate from place value understanding. [16:49] - We hear how conceptual understanding uses visuals, while fact retrieval relies on memorization and fluency practice. [19:50] - Heather discusses how she uses cues and repetition before timed exercises, helping students get things right before they start doing them automatically. [23:47] - We hear how schema-based strategies teach students to analyze story problems, rather than linking words directly to operations. [26:23] - Heather explains and breaks down the ROMANS strategy. [29:34] - ADHD increases cognitive demands in math, making working memory and flexible problem-solving even more difficult. [30:15] - Adrianne reflects on how minimizing task switching and using visual support helps students with ADHD maintain attention and limit mistakes. [33:33] - Multiple sources for instructions can sometimes confuse students, so limiting transitions and providing frequent feedback is so important! [35:49] - Adrianne explains how reducing visual and language clutter helps protect working memory and boosts student confidence and learning ability. [37:42] - Matching instruction to a child's learning profile can drastically help increase engagement, understanding, and self-confidence! [38:19] - Adrianne highlights how evidence-based strategies benefit all students, not just those with diagnoses. [40:16] - How can listeners connect with Adrianne and Heather?
