I recently met Lois Letchford, the Chief Education Officer, Program Director, Instructor, and Development Specialist at Teaching Students with Dyslexia. She is the author of the book Reversed: A Memoir. Lois is also dyslexic, as is her son Nicholas. When he was a young boy in school, no one was trained to help him. She stepped in and created curriculum to help her son. There is a lot of healing needed when a dyslexic child is humiliated and made to feel stupid...when they are not! One in five children has dyslexia and it is a learning difference, not a disability. Lois has an amazing story. Listen in and hear about Nicholas’ successes, even attending Oxford and learn about his genius mind!
