Back to School with Dyslexia: Reset, Not Rigidity
Send us Fan Mail The first two weeks go great. Then, somewhere around week three, the crying starts, or the stomachaches, or the flat refusal to get in the car. If you've been through a back-to-school honeymoon followed by a hard crash, this episode is about setting things up so the crash doesn't take the whole year with it. We talk about treating your back-to-school plan as scaffolding rather than a set of rules: something you build to help you climb, and something you're allowed to rearrange in October when it stops fitting. Full transcript We're Sonja and Nick — parents of a dyslexic kid and your guides on this journey. We created Dyslexia Journey because we know how isolating it can feel when your child struggles with reading and school isn't helping. Every episode brings practical strategies, expert interviews with psychologists, educators, and reading specialists, plus real stories from dyslexic adults who've thrived. Whether you're a parent navigating diagnosis, IEPs, and accommodations, or a dyslexic adult looking for community — this show is for you. Got a question or a guest idea?
