In this episode of the Don't Call on Me podcast, hosts Megan and Eryn sit down with Jennifer Hyland, a passionate advocate for her daughter Jill, who faced significant challenges before being diagnosed with dyslexia. Jennifer shares her family’s journey—from missing early warning signs to navigating an ineffective 504 plan and ultimately finding hope through intensive remediation at a private school.
Listen to Jennifer recount how Jill’s second grade became a turning point that led to transformative changes. Today, Jill thrives as a public school freshman with straight A's, but the road to success was anything but smooth. This candid conversation offers insights into the importance of early intervention, persistence, and advocating for evidence-based instruction.
Tune in to hear how determination can transform struggles into triumphs and provide inspiration to families navigating similar challenges.
