Learn Smarter Podcast 376: Dr. Brennan Chandler and All Things Dyslexia – Part 1 (Reading Series)
Rachel Kapp, M.Ed., BCET, and Stephanie Pitts, M.Ed., BCET welcome Dr. Brennan Chandler, Assistant Professor at Georgia State University for the first part of our conversation. He defines dyslexia for us in 3 different ways (legal, medical, IDA/practical) and discusses myths of dyslexia. He discusses risk factors and protective or resilience factors which impact risk for dyslexia. He talks about how intervention needs to be maintained throughout education, not just in K-2. He shares how overaccommodation with older learners should not take the place of individualized intervention. He also shares how dyslexia impacts other domains beyond just reading.
