Selects: How Dyslexia Works

Josh and Chuck dive into the fascinating and often misunderstood world of dyslexia, exploring what this specific learning disorder actually is beyond the common myth that people with dyslexia simply read words backwards. They trace the history of dyslexia research from its 19th century origins when it was called "word blindness" through to modern understanding, discussing the symptoms, challenges with diagnosis, and how people with dyslexia navigate daily life. The hosts also examine why dyslexia was so poorly understood for so long and how that affected generations of students who were unfairly labeled as unintelligent.
