Ep 2. Signs of Dyslexia
Sep 15, 2022
According to the National Institute of Health, dyslexia can be identified with 92% accuracy by the age of five and a half. In today’s episode, I dive into some of the common signs of dyslexia and what it may look like in your child at different development stages. I talk about the warning signs to look out for in preschool and kindergarten-aged children and how those challenges affect students as they continue on to elementary and middle school. I also touch on the consequences of little-to-no effective interventions.
