    To win at school meetings, focus on active listening, clear communication, and collaborative problem-solving. Instead of rambling or presenting information passively, try to frame your thoughts to encourage participation and build consensus. For example, instead of "We need to address this," try "What are your thoughts on how we can best approach this?"

    149 | The Link Between Dyslexia and ADHD: What Every Parent Should Know
    Apr 14 2025

    One of the things that I learned early on our dyslexia journey is that dyslexia often co-occurs with other difficulties. In other words, most of the time, dyslexia is not the only struggle for dyslexics. I call these co-occurrences, dyslexic sisters. Sisters may include speech, anxiety disorders, developmental language disorders, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The research estimates that 30% of people with dyslexia are also AD/HD.

    Both children with dyslexia and AD/HD may be underachieving in school, even though they are often bright and motivated. The goal is to meet their potential. Children with these disorders must be carefully evaluated because treatment for one disorder is different from that for the other. Inaccurate diagnosis can lead to inappropriate intervention and a delay in timely, effective intervention. Early intervention is key for both dyslexia and AD/HD.

    148 | 5 Pieces of Bad Parenting Advice About Dyslexia - I’m Glad I Didn’t Take
    Mar 26 2025

    Early in my dyslexia parenting journey, I took every piece of business advice as gold. I was so eager to learn everything I could get my hands on about dyslexia that I rarely stopped to ask, does this make sense for my parenting journey and the best way to help my daughter?

    But over the years, I learned a valuable lesson: not all advice is good advice. Some of the most common expert tips can steer you in the wrong direction.

    The truth is, every child with dyslexia is different, and what works for one child might not work for another. That’s why your intuition is so important!

    Some of my biggest wins have come from doing the exact opposite of what the so-called “rules” say to do.

    Today, I’m sharing five pieces of bad dyslexia advice I’m so glad I ignored.
