Holding Space Podcast: The Dyslexia Myth

What if dyslexia isn’t a reading disorder at all, but a difference in how the brain organizes information? In this episode, I sit down with Russell Van Brocklen, who shares both his personal journey with severe dyslexia and the groundbreaking method he developed after discovering that traditional accommodations weren’t addressing the real issue. Russell explains the neurological differences behind dyslexia, revealing how dyslexic brains often show less activity in the back and significantly more activity in the front, and why that matters when it comes to teaching reading and writing. We talk about why so many dyslexic students struggle in traditional K–12 settings yet thrive when they are finally allowed to specialize in areas of deep interest. Russell breaks down his approach, which teaches from specific to general rather than general to specific, using writing as a measurable output to help the brain organize itself. The results he shares are remarkable, with students advancing multiple grade levels in a matter of months. This conversation challenges long-held assumptions about dyslexia and invites parents, educators, and leaders to reconsider what support really looks like. If you’ve ever wondered whether the system is failing bright, capable students simply because they learn differently, this episode will open your eyes to new possibilities.
