As a dyslexic  kid, your child is going to need extra support at school. Most teachers are fantastic and well-intentioned and want the best for your child. But many of them are overworked, don’t understand learning differences, and may not always be actually doing what is best for your child. So how do you get what your child needs without antagonizing or making their teachers defensive?

We're Sonja and Nick — parents of a dyslexic kid and your guides on this journey. We created Dyslexia Journey because we know how isolating it can feel when your child struggles with reading and school isn't helping. Every episode brings practical strategies, expert interviews with psychologists, educators, and reading specialists, plus real stories from dyslexic adults who've thrived. Whether you're a parent navigating diagnosis, IEPs, and accommodations, or a dyslexic adult looking for community — this show is for you. Got a question or a guest idea?
