In this conversation, Dan sits down with Russell Van Brocklen — a New York State–funded dyslexia researcher and educator who has spent decades studying how the dyslexic brain learns. What follows is a clear, grounded, and deeply informative exploration of dyslexia that blends science, lived experience, and practical insight in a way that’s accessible to everyone.
Russell breaks down the neurological patterns behind dyslexia, why so many traditional reading approaches fall short, and what actually helps dyslexic learners thrive. He brings research, diagrams, and a lifetime of teaching experience to the table, but shares it with humility and clarity. This episode is a resource for parents, teachers, adults with dyslexia, and anyone who wants to understand the brain a little better.
