Season 8 Episode 17
Today, I sit down with Russell Van Brocklen, known as the Dyslexia Professor, to explore the realities of parenting, mentorship, and education when a child struggles with dyslexia. We discuss how dyslexia impacts not only academics but also self-esteem, social relationships, and mental health, and we look at how parents can step in as both guides and advocates.
Mr. Van Brocklen shares his personal story of overcoming dyslexia, from facing severe academic discrimination in college to developing effective methods that transformed his ability to read and write. He explains how brain activity differs in those with dyslexia and why conventional teaching approaches often fail. Through his lived experience, he developed a system that helped students move from elementary-level skills to graduate-level writing ability in a fraction of the time traditional programs require.
We also explore practical strategies that parents can implement at home without expensive training or specialized schools. Mr. Van Brocklen breaks down simple, repeatable exercises that help children organize their thoughts, build vocabulary, and strengthen both reading and writing skills. His methods prove that with the right tools and consistent effort, children with dyslexia can thrive academically and socially.
If you’re a parent, educator, or mentor looking to better understand dyslexia and support children who face it, this episode has both insights and actionable steps.
