Let’s Talk Learning Disabilities Podcast
An internationally recognized podcast dedicated to exploring and understanding the world of learning disabilities, including dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and ADHD.
Real Voices, Real Stories — Your go-to podcast for making the complex world of learning disabilities approachable, one conversation at a time.
We believe learning differences shouldn’t be a mystery—everyone deserves access to expert knowledge that’s practical, relatable, and useful. Without the right support, navigating school, work, and life can feel overwhelming.
That’s why we’re here—to bridge the gap between clinical expertise and real-world experience. We break down complex topics, ditch the jargon, and have real, unfiltered conversations with experts and those who’ve lived it. Whether you're a parent, educator, or someone working to understand your own brain, we’re here to empower you with knowledge, strategies, and stories that inspire, because no one should have to figure it out alone.
