How we understand and talk about dyslexia has changed drastically over the last two decades — but how far have we really come?
In this episode, we explore the evolving perception of dyslexia in modern times, comparing it to how it was viewed 20 years ago. From outdated misconceptions to breakthroughs in support, awareness, and technology, we take a look at what’s changed, what hasn’t, and what still needs to.
We cover:
How diagnosis and awareness have improved
The role of assistive technology and education today
Ongoing stigma and misunderstandings
What it means to be neurodivergent in a modern world
Why early intervention and adult diagnosis still matter
Whether you're dyslexic, support someone who is, or just curious about how far we've come, this conversation is for you.
