Have you ever wished that you could sit down with your child's pediatrician and talk about dyslexia, neurodiversity, and parenting? Well, this is your chance! We recently enjoyed a conversation with Dr. Kristen Cook, pediatrician and author, about neurodiversity, dyslexia, the role of pediatricians, and the general parenting challenges that come with parenting neurodiverse kids.

Kristen Cook, MD is a pediatrician and author of "Parenting Redefined: A Guide to Understanding and Nurturing Your Child's Behavior to Help Them Thrive." You can find Dr. Cook at https://www.kristencookmd.com/, and you can find her book at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FZLV5TY4.

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?
