Linda Siegel: 'Dyslexia is a crawling snail'
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Linda Siegel is a retired professor from the University of British Columbia, who taught educational psychology. In this episode, Linda talks with Steve about dyslexia because she feels this is a very important condition to talk about. Her quote is from a 10 year old boy with dyslexia, which Linda elaborates more in her conversation with Steven. Linda did a lot of research about children and how they struggled with reading, and she also worked in schools trying to help children with their dyslexia. She did her research over 45 years ago, but she finds there can still be improvements even to this current day in helping people to manage their dyslexia by getting the right tools at an early age.
