Unlocking Dyslexia: Myths, Strategies, and Keys to Success with Lisa Parnello
Today's episode engages in a great conversation with Lisa Parnello, the founder of Parnello Education and the host of the podcast, Dyslexia Devoted.
In today's conversation, Lisa dispels common misconceptions about dyslexia, emphasizing that dyslexia is not a vision problem but a result of how the brain processes language.
Lisa stresses the importance of early intervention and offers valuable insights and strategies for educators, paraprofessionals and parents dealing with dyslexia.
Highlights:

- Separation of idea generation and writing execution recommended.
- Validating efforts for dyslexic students and providing specific tools for problem-solving
