Struggling for success can feel like staring at a report card and thinking, “How is my child so bright… and still drowning?” After listening to this episode, you’ll feel less alone, more grounded, and clear on what to do next. Today, not “someday.”
Host Tracy Young, an ALTA-certified, Orton-Gillingham tutor, shares a candid Reddit thread where dyslexic adults shared the truth about being told they couldn't achieve a goal. Best of all was the moment they finally proved that person wrong. These are real-life dyslexia success stories, college acceptances, advanced degrees, thriving careers, all powered by persistence and the right supports. Tracy breaks down what these stories have in common, and why struggling for success is usually a mismatch in instruction, not a lack of effort or intelligence.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What dyslexia success stories have in common, so you can copy the patterns that work.
- A simple way to talk to your child that boosts motivation.
- How to spot progress that’s easy to miss, so your child feels wins sooner.
