Summary

Learning disabilities (LDs) are complex and can be stigmatizing for those who are labeled with an LD. On this podcast, Mike and Arushi explore the impacts of learning disabilities and dyslexia, the brain, how to support a child with a learning disability, their strengths, and much much more. Join us as we share this information, along with our stories in working with children with learning disabilities - in hopes of breaking those stigmas. If you have any questions, comments, or future topic suggestions, we would love to hear from you. You can email us at [email protected].
