Do you suspect that your teenager has dyslexia? Here are some of the top indications to help you identify your child's learning difference. 

As always, if you suspect that your child has a learning difference like dyslexia, you should consult the appropriate professional for an assessment and diagnosis.

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. Whether you're a parent navigating diagnosis, IEPs, and accommodations, or a dyslexic adult looking for community — this show is for you. Got a question or a guest idea?

You can find complete episode transcripts on our website, as well as a list of Dyslexia Resources and summaries of Dyslexia Research.
