Julie Legg speaks with Russell Van Brocklen — dyslexia researcher, educator, keynote speaker. Known as The Dyslexic Professor, Russell shares his extraordinary journey from being a severely dyslexic student with ADHD to a New York State Senate-funded researcher reshaping literacy education.
Through lived experience, practical strategies, and powerful case studies, Russell reveals how identifying a child’s “speciality” can unlock motivation and transform learning outcomes. He breaks down how ADHD and dyslexia often co-occur and provides a step-by-step methodology for parents and educators to help kids improve reading and writing at any level, no diagnosis required.
