A Family's Journey with Dyslexia and Dysgraphia | Dont Call On Me, The Dyslexia Podcast Ep. 39
<p dir="ltr">In this powerful episode of the Don't Call On Me Podcast, hosts Megan and Eryn sit down with Lucia and her remarkable daughter, Ansley, to share a family's journey through years of misdiagnoses, academic struggles, and ultimately, triumph. Ansley, along with her twin brother Dawson, both have dyslexia and dysgraphia, yet each faced unique hurdles to get the right support. Misdiagnosed with anxiety in first grade, Ansley endured frustration and even reached a breaking point before finally receiving an Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) and finding a school where she could learn in a way that matched her needs. Now in a nurturing environment, Ansley has rediscovered her self-confidence and has become a passionate advocate, working on her state's dyslexia and dysgraphia handbook committee and even speaking out at her local school board. Dawson, too, is thriving, reading at grade level and excelling in math.</p> <p dir="ltr">Lucia and Ansley offer a candid look at their journey, the importance of early and accurate diagnosis, and the transformative power of specialized education for kids with learning differences.</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://dyslexiaondemand.com/">Dyslexia On Demand</a> </p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://dyslexiaondemand.com/contact/">Book a consultation with Megan</a> to discuss CALT therapy.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://youtu.be/5iorIqdcPb4?si=0SRZK69mezNcqFMM">How Language Therapy is different from Tutoring</a></p> </li> </ul> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://advocatetoeducate.com/">Advocate to Educate</a></p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://advocatetoeducate.lawcus.com/a/f/AbCIGqxFGJFdvkufhJGmcJwdGDEybzyzpzDi"> Book a consultation with Eryn</a> to discuss advocacy services.</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p>

<p dir="ltr">In this powerful episode of the Don't Call on Me Podcast, Megan and Eryn welcome Lisa Jensen DeLaet, a mother of two children with dyslexia, who has become a fierce advocate for early intervention and the science of reading. She shares her journey of discovering her 9-year-old son's dyslexia in kindergarten and the uphill battle she waged to secure evaluations, accommodations, and an IEP—all while learning how to navigate a system that often overlooks early signs of learning differences.</p> <p dir="ltr">Lisa also shares the story of her 16-year-old daughter, a straight-A student whose dyslexia went unnoticed for years due to her incredible memory and compensatory skills. Through this dual perspective, Lisa emphasizes the importance of proper screening and evidence-based interventions in ensuring every child gets the support they need.</p> <p dir="ltr">This mother's advocacy extends beyond her family: she has presented at a national health equity summit and spoken to her local school district on "Dyslexia: A Parent's Perspective." She also shares the heartwarming story of her son's newfound confidence as a 3rd grader who reads aloud in class and runs for kids with dyslexia at a suicide awareness event.</p> <p dir="ltr">Tune in for a conversation about dyslexia where perseverance, hope, and the life-changing impact of embracing an intentional journey is sure to inspire.</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://dyslexiaondemand.com/">Dyslexia On Demand</a> </p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://dyslexiaondemand.com/contact/">Book a consultation with Megan</a> to discuss CALT therapy.</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://youtu.be/5iorIqdcPb4?si=0SRZK69mezNcqFMM">How Language Therapy is different from Tutoring</a></p> </li> </ul> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://advocatetoeducate.com/">Advocate to Educate</a></p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><a href= "https://advocatetoeducate.lawcus.com/a/f/AbCIGqxFGJFdvkufhJGmcJwdGDEybzyzpzDi"> Book a consultation with Eryn</a> to discuss advocacy services.</p> </li> </ul> <p> </p>
