Spell 'dyslexia' five times fast – a challenge even for the word wizards among us! Now, to dive into the real talk about dyslexia! The boys dive deep into the world of dyslexia with none other than Alicia Smith, the Executive Director of Dyslexia Canada. Alicia, who navigates life as a dyslexic individual and as a parent of a child with dyslexia, brings a rich, personal perspective to the table. She's not just talking the talk; she's walked the walk – or should we say 'wladked the wlak'? Alicia is on a mission to shatter the silence and misconceptions surrounding this common learning disability. Alicia busts some widespread myths about dyslexia – no, it's not about seeing dancing letters on a page, nor does it have anything to do with intelligence or motivation. The conversation shifts to the current challenges faced by people with dyslexia, touching on issues that often go unnoticed. The boys and Alicia discuss potential transformations in the education system, emphasizing the need for early identification and intervention for children with dyslexia. Wondering if you or your child might have dyslexia? Curious about how you can contribute to making the world a more dyslexia-friendly place? Alicia offers practical advice and insights that listeners can apply in their lives. For more information, check out www.dyslexiacanada.org.
