Struggling to support your child with ADHD and dyslexia? You're not alone—and you're definitely not out of options.
In this powerhouse episode of Chaos & Caffeine, host Danielle Kelly sits down with educational neuroscientist and literacy expert Dr. Rebecca Troy, founder of Retrain the Dyslexic Brain. With over 22 years of experience and a doctorate in education, Dr. Troy dives deep into the science behind dyslexia, how it often overlaps with ADHD, and what actually works to help your neurodivergent child succeed.
Learn how to retrain the brain, build emotional resilience, and create practical home strategies that support your child's unique learning needs. Whether your child is melting down over reading homework or feeling "too much" in the classroom, this episode will leave you with hope, clarity, and actionable tools you can use today.
🎯 Perfect for: parents of newly diagnosed ADHD kids, families navigating dyslexia, and anyone who wants to understand their child’s brain better (without getting a PhD).
