DAC-Dyslexia and Coffee

Kids EN ↓ 96 episodes

A conversation with Parents and PractitionersThe purpose of this show is to provide support and encouragement to families as they navigate a dyslexia diagnosis. We can offer concrete and actionable advice to families. As professionals we understand the science of reading, but we are also both moms who are navigating the system ourselves. No two people with dyslexia are the same and no two families' journeys are going to be the same.
