Episode 3: Dyslexia Success Stories with Sissy and Hudson
In this week’s episode, we feature two students from Stowell Learning Center who now claim that dyslexia is their super power.

However, it’s this same gift that can make it difficult for them to read words on a flat plane.
Listen to the stories direct from families about what it was like doing targeted learning therapies at Stowell, and how they overcame the challenges of dyslexia.
