In this episode, I focus on the student as a variable. What happens when a child struggles in reading, writing, and math and how can we as teachers and parents meet their needs? With 1 out of 5 people estimated to have dyslexia, it is surprising that there is not more action in education to address this large area of concern. In the average classroom size of 20 that means teachers have an average of 4 dyslexic students in every classroom.

Dr. Livia Pailer-Duller is on today’s show to discuss this important topic of dyslexia and dyscalculia, and how her organization is helping children and families across the world. She is the CEO of the American Dyslexia Association and co-author of Dyslexia-Dyscalculia!? Available on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Dyslexia-Dyscalculia-Dr-Astrid-Kopp-Duller-ebook/dp/B0047DWZ1S

So here is the call to action: Teachers need to be trained and school districts need to be better equipped to handle dyslexic students. Parents need access to more information and better support. It is my hope to include dyslexia testing in the form of AFS testing and didactic assistance by professionally trained educators as part of a solution to the current reading crisis gripping America.

Learnedy can help. The Dyslexia Research Center provides screening and support for children struggling in reading and mathematics. With over 25 years of experience their international research team has created individual training programs to meet children where they are.
