LDE 49: Is My Child Dyslexic? Am I? - Jill Stowell

"Having dyslexia or a learning disability can be quite traumatic. These kids go to school every day afraid that they will be singled out in front of the class and embarrassed by their poor reading, spelling, or slow work.
They live in fear that their peers will notice that they can’t do the work. Recognizing dyslexia helps you, your child, and the teacher understand that this is not your child’s fault, or the result of laziness or lack of motivation. That change in perspective will make a huge difference." - Jill Stowell
 
In this episode of the LD Expert Podcast, we’re discussing dyslexia - what it is and how to determine if you or your child might have this thinking style that can be both a challenge and a gift.

LDE 48: A Teen’s Transformation to Success in School

"I could only focus for 20 minutes to half an hour. After starting at SLC, I have been able to go through the entire hour of my lesson, and then I'm able to go through the entire hour - and sometimes 2 hours - in my exams." - James Whyte, SLC Student
 
Contrary to popular belief, a brain is never too old to make profound improvements with the right therapies.
 
This week on the podcast, hear from SLC student James Whyte and his mother Nicola about what it's like to do cognitive learning therapy, how they've grown and what they've learned. James is one of our remote learning students living in the UK, and he was already in his teens when he started at SLC. You'll hear about his successful transformation with grades and exams after he began therapy.
