Radical Acceptance and Your Dyslexic Kid ft. therapist Donna McCutchen

In part one of our two-part interview with therapist Donna McCutchen, we explore the concept of radical acceptance as applied to dyslexia, and discover how it can help your dyslexic child thrive, as well as enable you to better emotionally support yourself and your child.

We're Sonja and Nick — parents of a dyslexic kid and your guides on this journey. We created Dyslexia Journey because we know how isolating it can feel when your child struggles with reading and school isn't helping. Every episode brings practical strategies, expert interviews with psychologists, educators, and reading specialists, plus real stories from dyslexic adults who've thrived.
