The Dyslexic Professor: From 1st Grade Reading to Law School Success

Episode Notes

`In this powerful episode, we sit down with Russell Van Brocklen, known as "The Dyslexic Professor," who shares his incredible journey from struggling with 1st-grade reading and writing levels to becoming a successful law school graduate and education researcher.

Russell's story isn't just inspiring—it's revolutionary. After being denied college credits despite earning an A- in a prestigious New York State Assembly internship, he was determined to fix the education system for people like him. His New York State Senate-funded research has transformed how we understand dyslexia and ADHD.

🎧 In this episode, you'll discover: • The Yale brain imaging research that changes everything we know about dyslexic minds • Why traditional teaching methods are failing neurodivergent students • The "specific to general" learning approach that unlocks potential • Real success stories, including a 10-year-old who improved faster than elite $75,000/year schools • How to identify if you or your child might be neurodivergent • Practical methods parents can use at home

Russell's approach proves that neurodivergent minds aren't disabled—they're differently abled. His methods are helping students across North America discover their true potential.

Whether you're a parent, educator, or someone who learns differently, this episode will change how you think about education and human potential. 🌐 Connect with Russell: https://dyslexiaclasses.com`
