In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with Russell Van Brocklen—educator, dyslexia advocate, and founder of DyslexiaClasses.com—about a radical new way to teach struggling readers. Forget rigid phonics drills. Russell introduces the "Speciality First Dyslexia Blueprint," a method rooted in a learner's deepest passion, using tools like comic books or even baseball stats to transform reading outcomes. The conversation blends neuroscience, personal story, and practical strategy to show how dyslexic learners can thrive academically and emotionally by starting where they shine. About the Guest:Russell Van Brocklen, also known as The Dyslexia Professor, is an author, educator, and the founder of DyslexiaClasses.com. A dyslexic learner himself, he built a system that takes students from failure to fluency—without relying on outdated approaches. His evidence-based method is now used to train educators and empower students across the U.S. Key Takeaways: Traditional reading interventions miss the mark for many dyslexic learners. Russell's “Speciality First” model starts with a learner's obsession to build motivation and engagement. Brain scans show dyslexics use different neural pathways; tapping into strengths leads to faster literacy gains. Specific-to-general thinking works better than general-to-specific for dyslexic minds. Real progress starts with personalized content, structured sentence building, and high-frequency repetition. AI should be introduced only after foundational skills are in place.

In this episode, we talk to Vincent Fantauzzo – the Melbourne portrait artist famous for hyperrealist renderings of a long list of prominent people. He’s painted movie stars (like Hugh Jackman), underworld figures (like Mick Gatto), politicians (like Julia Gillard), sporting heroes (like Oscar Piastri) and icons (like Michael Gudinski). Good Weekend senior writer Konrad Marshall profiled Fantauzzo for a June cover story – "Keeping it real" – about not just his prize-winning works but his rough-and-tumble beginnings, which included more than mere brushes with violence and crime. As they discuss in this emotionally charged conversation, Fantauzzo endured a dysfunctional early life, not to mention an unhealthy dose of insecurity and shame over a learning disorder he kept hidden. He overcame all that to receive plaudits – and occasional brickbats – for his work so far, but his real mission is both simple and grand: “To Jamie Oliver the art world”.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, Dr. Stephanie talks to Dan of the Aspie World! Are we still allowed to say Aspie? Dan talks us through his autism identification and how that led him to build one of the first platforms on social media about adult autism.Hello friends,I want to share something deeply personal—something that completely shifted the trajectory of my life.At 26, I received a formal diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome (now Autism Spectrum Disorder), along with ADHD, OCD, and Dyslexia. That moment wasn't about becoming someone new; it was about finally understanding who I always was.For years, I silently battled confusion, overwhelm, and social exhaustion. Masking my discomfort to "fit in" affected my mental and emotional health deeply.A Diagnosis Isn't a Label—It's a Lens.It provided clarity, showing me that I'm not broken; I'm wired differently. Discovering neurodiversity helped me celebrate my differences and recognize my strengths—creativity, hyperfocus, analytical thinking—as true assets.This revelation inspired me to start The Aspie World, supporting thousands globally in navigating neurodivergent journeys. Our differences drive innovation, empathy, and inclusion, making humanity richer.Remember, your diagnosis is just the beginning of a beautiful, empowered chapter. You are capable, valuable, and not alone.Thank you for joining this journey.With gratitude,Daniel M.

As summer approaches, I'm taking a moment to look back at some of the most impactful episodes to-date! I know this season brings a mix of relaxation and planning, especially for families navigating dyslexia. That's why I wanted to bring you our "Summer Rewind" series, a curated selection of previously aired episodes packed with valuable insights, practical strategies, and empowering advice to help you support your child's literacy journey through the warmer months and beyond. This episode, Dyslexia and Summer Therapy - Yes or No?, originally aired in May of 2023, and I hope you enjoy listening to it again (or for the first time)! Research has shown that many children, especially dyslexic children, will lose reading skills over the summer without some support. If your child has been working hard with a dyslexia therapist after school all year and is doing really well, you need to think about what the fall will look like for your child based on the decisions you make for them in the summer. In this episode, I outline some options that make it possible for you to balance your child's summer. There are many ways to make this work for you, your family, and your child. Ultimately, it is a personal decision, and you should trust your parent-gut. My Untangling Dyslexia: From Identification to IEP course walks you through every step of the identification and support process. I offer two options: the course itself, which gives you all the tools and templates you need to advocate for your child, or the course paired with a comprehensive literacy evaluation. Either way, you'll have a roadmap to follow instead of trying to figure everything out on your own, and you can learn more and apply now at https://www.literacyuntangled.com/continuethejourney! My brand-new mini-course, From Lost to Empowered: How to Get Your Struggling Reader: The 3-Step Evaluation Request Blueprint for Parents of Struggling Readers, is available now! This 3-step evaluation request blueprint walks you through everything you need to know, from documenting concerns with the right details to writing the evaluation request letter with language that triggers legal timelines, to handling what to do when schools try to push you off, and so much more. You can break through the barriers NOW and get instant access at https://www.literacyuntangled.com/from-lost-to-empowered. Topics Covered: Practical approaches to maintain your child's reading progress while enjoying summer [1:55] Common setbacks and why taking the summer off can hurt dyslexic students [2:20] How to define your family's objectives for a productive and enjoyable summer [2:38] Options for specialized summer camps that offer both learning and leisure [3:09] Tips on adjusting therapy schedules to accommodate family vacations and summer activities [4:08] Why some families choose to increase intervention intensity over the summer to prepare for the new school year [4:32] Key Takeaways Even a short break from reading intervention can lead to a "summer slide" in skills. You don't have to choose between summer fun and academic progress; many options blend both. From specialized camps to adjusted therapy schedules, there are many ways to continue support. Ultimately, the best summer plan for your child is a personal decision that aligns with your family's needs - so trust your gut. When you're ready to work with me, here are 3 ways I can help you: Join the waitlist to find out when my long-awaited course, Untangling Dyslexia: From Identification to IEP, opens up again!

Imagine a world without Mozart or Michelangelo, Einstein or Edison. Famous for their creativity, a "mysterious force" that psychiatrist and ADHD expert, Ed Hallowell, says is a commonality in neurodiverse people. Neurodiversity is a relatively new term, but the thinking behind it has been going on for a while. There's increasing evidence that what we know today as Autism, ADHD, BipolarDisorder, Schizophrenia, and Dyslexia may have been a way for us to extend our species chances of survival. And yet the thinking around brain variations like ADHD is that it's a deficiency, something that needs to be fixed. Sandra Bourque's two-part series, The Myth of Normal traces the social and cultural response to neurodiversity and whether there's a way back to seeing this way of thinking as an advantage.
When the Neurodiversity Show was cancelled this year, Dr Martin Bloomfield wanted to pay tribute to Arran Smith's original concept, while keeping part of the conversation alive by bringing together some of the speakers, with the support of the Dyslexia Explored Podcast, and created this one-off online event: The Neurodiversity Empowered 2025.

Kevin Nash has a lot on his mind this week, and it goes far beyond the Knicks. From getting high before a back workout to debating the collapse of American politics, this episode moves fast and hits hard. Expect tangents, truths, and a few curveballs only Big Sexy could throw. There's a new movie in the pipeline, a Martin Short story that involves a robe, and some choice words about the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Nash shares a few memories from the road, reflects on his singing skills, and maybe overshares about what it's like to receive Uber Eats in nothing but a talk show gift. The conversation turns serious as Kevin and Sean tackle issues like autism, dyslexia, and how the education system fails kids who don't fit the mold. They also respond to a heartfelt message from a listener whose son with autism is a big fan of the show. It's one of the most personal segments they've done in a while. Later, they go deep into testosterone replacement therapy, longevity doctors, and what it means to stay sharp, healthy, and functional into your sixties. If you've ever wondered what it's like to navigate aging while still grinding, this is a window into the mindset. And yes, the NBA comes up. Knicks, Pacers, Vegas odds, and the unspoken truth about who the networks actually want in the Finals. It's a mix of hoops and hustle, politics and pop culture, heart and heat.

In this conversation, Stephen Martin discusses the emotional challenges faced by individuals diagnosed with dyslexia later in life, emphasizing the feelings of grief and loss associated with this experience.

Dyslexia, auditory processing disorder, dysgraphia, dyscalculia - when faced with multiple learning challenges, homeschooling might seem daunting. Yet for Erin Cox, these diagnoses became the catalyst for an extraordinary educational journey spanning 14 years and culminating in the creation of a curriculum company that serves thousands of families.In this illuminating conversation, Erin shares how her daughter who specialists said might "never learn to read" flourished through personalized homeschool instruction. Her approach - setting 15-minute timers to prevent frustration, incorporating movement through hopscotch sight words, and celebrating small victories - demonstrates how home education allows for the adaptation no traditional classroom could provide. "When you have dyslexia, it tends to take seven times longer to remember something than it does a neurotypical child," Erin explains, underscoring why the consistent, patient attention of homeschooling proved transformative.The discussion takes a fascinating turn when Erin clarifies the misunderstood relationship between Charlotte Mason and classical education philosophies. As founder of Gentle Classical Press, she articulates how these approaches aren't opposing methods but complementary traditions that both emphasize virtue formation and living books. "Charlotte Mason was a classical educator," she notes, dispelling common misconceptions perpetuated by curriculum marketing.Whether you're teaching a child with learning differences, considering homeschooling for the first time, or simply curious about educational philosophies, this episode offers practical wisdom and encouraging perspective. Erin's parting advice resonates with both seasoned and prospective homeschoolers alike: "You know your child better than anyone else... don't try to figure everything out in advance. Just do the next right thing."Ready to explore Gentle Classical Press or connect with Erin?

In Episode 364 of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, host Andrea Samadi welcomes Dr. Robert Melillo, a pioneer in developmental neurology. Dr. Melillo, co-founder of Brain Balance Achievement Centers and an acclaimed author, discusses his groundbreaking work on conditions like ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and more. Watch our interview on YouTube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87wpX05ZOaQ This episode delves into Dr. Melillo's innovative Brain Balance Program, which uses neuroscience-based exercises to address functional connectivity in the brain without medication. Dr. Melillo shares insights from his book "Disconnected Kids," now in its third edition, and explores the significance of primitive reflexes in childhood brain development. Dr. Melillo explains how identifying and nurturing the unique gifts within children can help them overcome neurological challenges and thrive. He also highlights his journey and the mentors who shaped it, along with a glimpse into his personalized program offerings based in New York and online. Welcome back to SEASON 13 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and an educator with a passion for learning and launched this podcast 7 years ago now, with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to help us to APPLY this research in our daily lives. For today's episode #364, we meet with Dr. Robert Melillo[i], a leading expert in developmental neurological conditions such as ADHD, autism, OCD, tics, dyslexia, anxiety, and depression in both children and adults. He is the co-founder of Brain Balance Achievement Centers, the developer of the Melillo Method®, and he runs the Melillo Center for Developing Minds in NY. His book, Disconnected Kids: The Groundbreaking Brain Balance Program® for Children with Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, and Other Neurological Disorders[ii], is now in its Third Edition, endorsed by Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence, who calls his book “a visionary new approach,” For today's episode #364, we meet with Dr. Robert Melillo, where we looked at: ✔ His book that's now in its 3rd Edition, Disconnected Kids: The Groundbreaking Brain Balance Program® ✔ Dr. Robert Melillo's Center for Developing Minds in New York and how they have been helping thousands of families around the world. ✔ What are milestones we can look for if we think our child or student has a vulnerability. ✔ Where to begin with The Melillo Method. Disconnected Kids is a comprehensive at-home guide to his Brain Balance program, which involves no medication or medical interventions but focuses instead on movement and sensory exercises that stimulate proper brain development. This updated and revised edition also features new exercises and the latest research findings on how the retention of primitive reflexes—the involuntary movements babies are born with that typically are replaced with intentional movements by their first birthday—plays an integral role in the development of neurological issues. Through the exercises in this book, these reflexes can be diminished, making brain balance easier to attain. Disconnected Kids helps readers guide children susceptible to a brain imbalance to overcome challenges and allow their true gifted selves to shine. Let's meet Dr. Robert Melillo, and learn together about his new visionary approach to help ALL children uncover their authentic gifts, and shine. Welcome Dr. Melillo. Thank you for joining us today on the podcast. Have we reached you in New York today? It's it a sunny day there today? INTRO: For sure, we do need to get up early here before the weather hits those high numbers! Before we get into your books, achievement centers and the methods you have created to help children with developmental neurological conditions, can we start with when it was that you first became interested in looking for solutions for children with neurological conditions? Where did your interest in brain disorders begin, what role did Denise Festa have on your journey and how did this lead to your Brain Balance Program where you have helped (by now) well over 50,000 young children around the world? Q1: There is nothing like watching your own child struggle (whether its academically, socially or emotionally). I was drawn to this work in the late 1990s when you were first discovering your Brain Balance Program (working as a classroom teacher years before having my own children) when I wanted to help children with social and emotional learning. It was at this time that many educators were starting to connect the dots with the importance of understanding how our brain works while learning to read, or do math, or learn a new language. I just wonder, where did your children end up career wise? That really did give me chills! This is the whole reason why I do this podcast. We can see a child in school and they might be struggling in the traditional classroom with the fact that they must sit and learn. And you talk about the vulnerabilities there. And there's these unique gifts that we know our children all have (we just need to help bring them out in our kids or students). Q2: Dr. Melillo, I've got to say that I'm beyond impressed with your approach to helping children, and families. I'm going to guess that the passion that comes through in your work is because the results you have seen are profound. It took me 5 seconds to see something different behind your work with an intro video you created for your book, Disconnected Kids[iii], which is where you suggest families begin when they have a child they want to assess to see if there is an imbalance somewhere. If a parent has a child at home and they are struggling somewhere, (academically, socially or they have been diagnosed with a brain disorder and are not making progress) where do you recommend we begin? At what age do most families seek you out for help, and what is the pathway you suggest in this process to figuring out how to help parents to understand what might be happening in your child's brain, that causes them to seem disconnected? Q3: You say in your book “to change aberrant behaviors, you have to change the brain; otherwise you are just managing the symptoms.” Is this what led you to create your Brain Balance Program, and what does this program entail? Q4: What milestones should we be aware of? Q4B: Have you ever come across the work of Glen Doman[iv]? Q5: So to wrap this all up, we become aware as parents or teachers of these important developmental milestones, and if we notice deficiencies in these milestones, we can purchase your book, Disconnected Kids in it's 3rd Edition now, we can come and visit your centers in New York, we can take some online courses to learn more, someone could also work with you via virtual training. Can you share where we should start if we want to learn more about your programs and services? Q6: Dr. Melillo, for people who would like to work with you, even virtually, is the best way to click the inquiry button on your website? What can someone expect wtih your virtual program? https://www.drrobertmelillo.com/virtual-programs/ Q7: What online course have your created, and who would benefit from them? https://www.drrobertmelillo.com/courses/ Q8: Have I missed anything important? Dr. Melillo, I want to thank you for joining me today on the podcast, and sharing your work with our listeners. This is important work you are doing, and I'm grateful to have had the chance to meet you, and share the vision for where you will take the Melillo Method, that has already been helping thousands of children globally. For people who might notice some vulnerabilities, or milestones that they are concerned about, what would you suggest?
