  • Episode 4 - Supporting Students with Dyslexia in the Classroom
    Jun 6 2025

    Understanding and Supporting Students with Dyslexia
    Dyslexia is the most common form of neurodivergence, yet many educators feel unsure about how to support it. In this episode, we explore what dyslexia really is, how it affects learning, and how teachers can make a meaningful difference through early intervention and inclusive strategies. We also reflect on the emotional impact of dyslexia and the strengths these students bring to the classroom.
