From Childhood Struggles to Adult Success - An Interview with Scott Smith

In this episode of the Days With Dyslexia podcast, the host conducts her first interview with Scott Smith, an adult who has dyslexia. Scott shares his early experiences with dyslexia, the challenges he faced in school, and the innovative ways he adapted to manage and eventually find success as an adult. When bedtime reading with his toddlers became difficult, he knew something needed to change. The discussion delves into his methods for overcoming reading difficulties, his mechanical and problem-solving strengths, and his achievements in both his professional and military careers. Additionally, Scott reflects on how working with the host on reading skills significantly improved his confidence and literacy, allowing him to have better career and parenting experiences.
