11: Dyslexia & Speech Pathology with Samantha Carr
May 20, 202400:52:02Tap to summarizeWe've all had a discussion about the best type of academic intervention for our child. More often than not, a speech pathologist is not at the top of that list. But maybe they should be.As you will learn in this episode, the job title is no match for their extensive training or ability to support literacy development. In this chat with leading Speech Pathologist and Director of Speak & Write, Samantha Carr, we discuss the types of intervention and support a "speechie" can offer, how to get the most out of therapies, the benefit of working with your child's school, online vs face-to-face and my favourite topic of all, how can we do things differently.

May 14, 202400:20:07Tap to summarizeThe impact of a poor or fixed mindset on your child goes well beyond the classroom and their academic achievement.

Transcribe →9: Alleviating The Feeling Of Shame
Apr 24, 202400:12:55Tap to summarizeIt's not uncommon for children growing up with dyslexia to experience shame. It comes in many forms, but for many, it centres around the fact that they don't fit in easily, that they can't do things as quickly as others, that they are letting grown-ups down, that they aren't good enough or deemed normal. Our children need to be guided through these sometimes intense feelings so they don't impact their well-being and future potential.
