Nicholas Solter is the father of a dyslexic teen, a dyslexia advocate, and a software engineer. In 2022, he and his wife Sonja, launched the podcast Dyslexia Journey: Support Your Kid. Since then, they have hosted almost 100 episodes to help parents. While our dyslexic kids are growing and facing new challenges that their learning differences may bring, we as parents are also challenged in how to best support them every step of the way. The Dyslexia Journey podcast offers endless insights, tips, and advice from expert guests to help better navigate the journey.
Key Takeaways:
• Don't be afraid to do something unconventional or completely out of the box. You don'thave to keep your kid in public school.
• You need to trust your gut. You need to trust your instinct. If you know that something is off, but the school is telling you that nothing’s wrong- trust yourself that there’s probably something that you should look into.
• We've really come to understand that while there are a lot of similarities with dyslexia, everyone's journey is unique.
