Episode # 123 - Dyslexia Basics with Melanie Florsheim
In this episode, Laurie reconnects with Melanie Florsheim to revisit the foundational concepts of dyslexia, emphasizing that it is a neurological disorder affecting the brain’s ability to process written language—not a result of brain damage or reversed letters.
Melanie explains that dyslexia primarily impacts reading, spelling, and writing due to difficulties in processing the symbols (letters) and their associated sounds.
