What You Really Need to Know About Reading & ADHD with Daniela Feldhausen

Have you ever wondered whether your child's ADHD is affecting their reading, and what you can do to help?

Daniela was recently a guest on the Breaking Out of the Box podcast with Norrine Russell, and we dove deep into something they're both passionate about: the real connection between ADHD and reading challenges, and what the science of reading tells us actually works.

If you're a parent who has watched your bright child struggle with reading, spelling, dyslexia, or dysgraphia, this episode is for you. We talk about what's really going on and the actionable steps you can take today.

Give it a listen and feel free to share it with a parent who needs to hear this.
