  • This is an amazing podcast!

    This is the most informative, clear, concise compilation of learning difficulties that I have come across. Laurie, Abby and her guests are so knowledgeable but they’re also fun and easy to listen to. I found the podcast yesterday as I was looking for information for my son on visual processing disorder. Once I finished those episodes I started listening about other learning challenges. It’s all so fascinating that I can’t seem to stop listening. Brilliant!
