Today on the podcast, I am joined by the high school learning specialist from Harpeth Hall, Mrs. Stevenson. We discussed the definition of dyslexia, the early indications of a child with dyslexia, and the statistics of Dyslexia in the United States. If you would like to find more information, the resources we used today are down below in Resources.
