For the first time since 2002, the International Dyslexia Association has rewritten its definition of dyslexia. The new version quietly removes two ideas that have kept kids from being identified for two decades: that dyslexia has to be 'unexpected' given a child's intelligence, and that a phonological deficit is always at the root of it.
We're Sonja and Nick, parents of a dyslexic kid and your guides on this journey. We created Dyslexia Journey because we know how isolating it can feel when your child struggles with reading and school isn't helping. Every episode brings practical strategies, expert interviews with psychologists, educators, and reading specialists, plus real stories from dyslexic adults who've thrived. Whether you're a parent navigating diagnosis, IEPs, and accommodations, or a dyslexic adult looking for community, this show is for you. Got a question or a guest idea?
