“Know what works for most kids; not just dyslexic kids”- Debbie
Having dyslexia running in your family can be challenging. Being a mom to a dyslexic kid is a whole other level.
Dr. Lauren and guest speaker Debbie Meyer, a member of the Dyslexia (Plus) in Public Schools Task, discussed the hardships of diagnosing kids with special needs. They also discussed how her son had been diagnosed with dyslexia without naming it. It’s no secret that finding equitable education for gifted children is challenging. That’s why Debbie took on her role as “Momvocate” for her dyslexic son and worked hard to get his educational support.
Debbie is a strong advocate and mom of a child with dyslexia. She fights tirelessly to dismantle the dyslexia-to-prison pipeline. Listen to Debbie's fierce story to fight for change.
