And, sophia, i saw your video that went viral about something you wanted your teacher to know. So tell me about first of all, tell me about the video. Well, that video would so my teacher would know that i have dyslexia. And so i wouldnt be going into her classroom and she wouldnt be able to know, and so she can help me, and i can have extra time on tests and be able to listen to my books and do have a special class during time the school hours. Schools hours, yes. Now, when did you know that you had a problem with reading . Were you little little . 2nd to 3rd grade. I got diagnosed in 3rd grade. And at 2nd grade, i knew that there was something wrong, so i everyone was getting as and bs, and i was getting ds and fs. Oof. So, um was that frustrating for you . Yes, very frustrating. How did you feel about yourself at that time . Well, i felt i felt really, like, disappointed sometimes because i knew that i could do it. I felt like i just had to try a lot harder. Mmhmm. And, mom, youre watching her strule. Yeah. Wow. So, as youre listening to her, take me back to those early days. You know, i had some concern, and every year, i would talk to the teachers, and i said, what can we do . What can we do . Just keep reading to her, just have her keep working harder, and i just thought they were the professionals and they were telling us what we needed to do, so i was telling her, you just got to work harder. You just got to try harder. And looking back now, and i think about how frustrating the tears at the homework table i feel awful about it. If i just wouldve known earlier. But who would know . I mean, its not something we talk about. Right. And so then, what happened to lead you to get a diagnosis . Well, just after not getting the answers and i knew there was something going on, and i spoke to a friend whose daughter had dyslexia, and so she led me to a private psychologist who evaluated her. And she was evaluated with the school prior, but they said that she was okay and she wasnt far enough behind. She needed to be three years behind in reading. Oh, no three years behind . Yeah, and she was only two years behind, so they said, shell be okay. Continue. And then i went to a private psychologist, and then they, hands down, diagnosed her with dyslexia. Wow. So when you heard that word, sophia, what did you think . Did it make you feel better . Well, i didnt know what that was, so i thought that id have to go into a special classroom, i had to have new friends and i wouldnt i would get, like, special, like, time after school and i would have to do more homework, and itd be harder. So i was kind of nervous. But then when i figured out when my mom told me what it was, i felt better, and i knew, okay, this is gonna be ill still be in the same classroom. Im just gonna have a little extra help, and i wont have to, like, go to a whole different classroom. Are you doing better now . Yes. How well . Well, now im getting as and bs instead of ds and fs. So i think that was just because i needed someone to read it to me, so and help get let me have extra time. And now im getting as and bs. Oh, congratulations thank you.

Were talking about a brainprocessing disorder called dyslexia, which frequently and sadly goes undiagnosed. Our guests today are dr. Sally shaywitz. She is author of the book overcoming dyslexia. And tobie meyer, who led the fight in sacramento to get a law passed to acknowledge dyslexia in the Education Code. So, thank you both for being here. This is your book. Youve got another one coming out. This is overcoming dyslexia, and the whole point of this show is to help people and talk about it. So, dr. Shaywitz, let me start with you. You and your husband have been working on this issue for decades. Why is this your passion . Well, dyslexia is our passion because we know it affects so many people 1 in 5, as you had mentioned. But as i testified to congress a year ago we always need more information, but in the case of dyslexia, we have enough knowledge to do better. So what we have is an action gap, not a knowledge gap. And we need to use the 21stcentury knowledge we have, and we have to make sure education is aligned with 21stcentury science. And, basically, dyslexia is very prevalent. We study the brain. We know where it is in the brain. We know so much about it, and yet kids were gonna hear go struggling. Teachers dont use the word. That should change now in california. And you had pointed to tobie, and youre absolutely right. cause you had this struggle with your son, so tell me about that. Yes, i did. When he was in the 1st grade, he became a different child. I couldnt get him out of the car in the morning to go to class. And, finally, one day, he told me he was not smart, and he would lay his head down on the table in class. We asked the school to assess him for a learning disability, and they found him ineligible. We hired a neuropsychologist and then eventually an attorney to secure services for my son. But this whole process cost us thousands of dollars in loans and a full school year at my childs expense. Oh, my goodness. Now, youve studied this, and fortunately, they were able to take out loans, but there are so many people you work with who are not that dont have any resources. And thats so true. And if you look at, for example, the nations report card, you find that theres 20 to 30 of children who are not at basic. And if you look at africanamerican, latino, native americans, thats even far larger. So we have an epidemic here. Oh, my gosh. Of dyslexia. And yet attentions not being paid. There are some schools, but theyre often very expensive independent schools. If we could have, for example, public Charter Schools for dyslexia, that would make a huge, huge difference, because these children and weve studied enough of the dyslexic theyre smart. They want to learn. They went to school with their mothers and fathers youre gonna learn to read. And were failing them. Well, that is its so sad, but you talked about action. You testified before congress. You worked with the california legislature, you and a team of moms and dads and kids. Tell me about that. Yes, that is correct. Jim frazier, the assemblyman. Yes, jim frazier decided that he would go ahead and author a bill that decoding dyslexia california would sponsor, and that bill was Assembly Bill 1369. And it had over 6,500 parents and children dyslexic children and organizations from all over california that lobbied for the support of the bill. And it passed unanimously through all the houses and eventually signed into law. Two parts, right . 2016, 2017. Thats correct. Two different laws. Theres phonological processing, which took effect on january 1, 2016. And the second law is that the state is required to develop program guidelines, and that will become effective by the Academic School year 20172018. And, dr. Shaywitz, we have about 10 seconds left. What is your advice to parents of dyslexic kids . Dont wait. We have a paper published just this fall that showed the achievement gap is present already in 1st grade, and it doesnt go away. So, parents, dont be afraid. And another thing parents are afraid of if your child has it, he or she has it, getting the diagnosis is a benefit. Its not gonna make the child dyslexic. Itll be a benefit. But itll bring benefits. And the child will know that he or she is not stupid. Oh, thats the best. Thank you both so much for all of your for teaching me about this so we could share it with other people. All right, we do have to take a break. Were going to put all of this resource information and i told you about overcoming dyslexia. Also, i got to show you the coolest hat ever. Got dyslexia . Youre in good company. So remember that. When we come back, youre going to meet a family who fought for years to get the help they needed for their teenage son who had a 3. 5 gradepoint average but couldnt read higher than 3rdgrade level. Were also gonna take you on a tour of the new dyslexic Research Center in San Francisco at ucsf mission bay and hear from the neuroscientist involved in a Pilot Project on reading disorders.

Were continuing our discussion on dyslexia. Now, youve heard that a new law is going into effect in the Education Code to acknowledge the reading disorder dyslexia in order to get services to the children who need them. Now, it comes too late for the courageous students who fought to graduate. I want you to meet one of those students who is a success thanks to his dedicated mother and his own hard work. When i was, like, in school reading, i knew it was difficult. 18yearold durrell struggled to learn to read, but hes worked hard and is excited about graduating from high school. Hes an artist, creating his own comic book. He wants to be an engineer and maybe own a Videogame Company after college. But its been a difficult journey to get this far. Durrell learns differently than some children. His mom noticed it when durrell was in 2nd grade. He was put in specialeducation classes, and she kept fighting to find out why he had trouble learning. The school would say, go to the doc
