Episode Summary
In this powerful episode, we’re unpacking what Speech-Language Pathologists really know, and wish they knew, about dyslexia. After interviewing dozens of SLPs and graduate students at the 2024 ASHA Convention, we discovered clear themes: misinformation, missing training, personal stories of struggle and resilience, and a deep desire for better tools to support dyslexic learners.
Joined by Susan (RLLC Owner) and Maggie (RLLC Therapist), host Tristen dives into what today’s SLPs are experiencing in the field: everything from misconceptions like “letters flipping” to the reality that most grad programs barely touch structured literacy or dyslexia at all. We explore what this means for families, how SLPs fit into the dyslexia landscape, and why specialized language-based literacy training is more important than ever.
This episode is honest, validating, and packed with insight for parents, educators, and clinicians who want to understand dyslexia through a truly language-based lens.
In This Episode, We Discuss:
- The top myths SLPs reported hearing about dyslexia
- Why dyslexia is not a visual issue, but a language-based learning difference
- The nationwide training gap in graduate programs
- Emotional stories from SLPs who personally have dyslexia
- System-level challenges around screening and assessment
- Why SLPs are the right professionals to support dyslexia — when properly trained
- Practical questions SLPs are asking: identification, intervention, evaluation, bilingual learners, and more
- How training, clarity, and a structured literacy framework can transform SLP confidence

In this episode of More Than Words: Treating the Whole Child, Tristen sits down with Karyn Ewart, licensed clinical psychologist and Founder of The Sycamore School, for a rich conversation about what it really takes to raise independent, resilient learners. Drawing from decades of experience as a school psychologist, therapist, clinical director, and head of school, Karyn unpacks the habits, mindsets, and family dynamics that shape a child’s ability to take ownership of their learning and their life.
Karyn explains what it means to be an independent learner, emphasizing curiosity, self-awareness, and the ability to access and evaluate resources. She discusses why independence starts much earlier than most people think—even in toddlerhood—and how scaffolding, household routines, and even simple chores build the foundation for lifelong competence.
Together, Tristen and Karyn explore why today’s parents often struggle with “doing too much,” how oversupervision can limit growth, and why unstructured time is essential for creativity and problem-solving. Karyn offers practical frameworks like “I do, we do, you do” and shares humorous and heartfelt stories from raising her own children, illustrating how mistakes, natural consequences, and even messy science projects become powerful learning moments.
The discussion also tackles modeling independence through adult behavior, navigating developmental differences, fostering self-advocacy—especially for kids with learning differences—and helping teens prepare for real-world expectations like jobs, deadlines, and college-level support systems.
Grounded in compassion, practicality, and real-life parenting wisdom, this episode offers families concrete tools to support independence while preserving connection, trust, and mental health.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
- What an “independent learner” truly is—and why curiosity and self-awareness matter
- How early independence begins and why toddlers often show the first signs
- The importance of scaffolding and letting children make (safe) mistakes
- Why household chores are foundational skills—not punishments
- The developmental benefits of unstructured time and boredom
- The risks of oversupervision and how to gradually remove “guardrails”
- How to balance stepping in vs. stepping back when kids struggle
- What the “I do, we do, you do” teaching model looks like in real families
- How modeling behavior (not just lecturing) shapes children’s independence
- Why natural consequences—even uncomfortable ones—build resilience
- How to support students with learning differences through accurate diagnosis, self-advocacy, and clarity about what they need
- When (and why) parents should not be their child’s academic tutor
- Strategies for helping kids transition from small tasks to complex responsibilities
- The role of self-advocacy in high school, college, and beyond
- How to identify your child’s temperament and match expectations accordingly

In this episode of More Than Words: Treating the Whole Child, Tristen sits down with Dr. Elizabeth (Lisa) Bennett, clinical psychologist at MindWell Psychology, to explore why many children with ADHD thrive when their days include intentional structure, movement, and supportive scheduling.
Dr. Bennett explains ADHD in accessible language—describing executive function as the brain’s “manager” and using memorable analogies to illustrate both hyperactive and inattentive presentations. Together, she and Tristen unpack the phrase “keep ’em busy,” revealing its neurological basis and how movement, motor activity, and the right “gear” help children regulate and succeed.
The conversation also explores research supporting structured activities, including the well-known Iceland Model, which demonstrated dramatic improvements in teen outcomes when communities increased access to supervised extracurriculars. Dr. Bennett and Tristen discuss what this means for younger children, particularly those with ADHD who benefit from consistent, growth-promoting routines.
Blending research, clinical expertise, and personal reflection—including Dr. Bennett’s experience raising a highly active child—this episode offers compassionate, realistic tools for parents seeking balance between structure and overscheduling, as well as thoughtful guidance for families hesitant about ADHD medication.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
- What ADHD truly is and why executive function can be thought of as the brain’s “conductor”
- How understanding your child’s “gear” helps you match activities to their energy and attention needs
- The benefits of structured, supervised activities for children’s regulation, mental health, and safety
- How movement-based programs like Taekwondo, swimming, drumming, and performing arts build confidence and focus
- What research tells us about overscheduling vs. healthy involvement
- How parents can identify signs of burnout or overwhelm when schedules become too demanding
- A compassionate framework for thinking about ADHD medication options
- What to do when the “perfect” schedule falls apart — and how those moments still support growth

In this episode of More Than Words, host Tristen talks with Susan Danker, co-owner of the Reading and Language Learning Center (RLLC) and co-creator of the Sounds2Print™ Reading Program, which was recently accredited by the International Dyslexia Association (IDA).
Susan shares why dyslexia is fundamentally a language-based learning difference, not just a reading issue and how a strong foundation in oral language sets the stage for reading and writing success. Together, they explore what dyslexia looks like long before a child ever begins reading, why speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are uniquely qualified to serve as reading specialists, and how addressing language first is essential for effective literacy intervention.
Listeners will come away with a deeper understanding of how phonological awareness, vocabulary, and syntax all contribute to reading development and why “language is the soil that reading grows in.”
Topics Covered:
- What dyslexia is and how it affects the brain’s processing of language and print
- Early signs of dyslexia in preschool-aged children
- The critical role of oral language—vocabulary, grammar, and listening—in reading success
- Why speech-language pathologists make exceptional reading specialists
- The importance of phonological awareness as the bridge to literacy
- When children need to strengthen receptive and expressive language before formal reading instruction
- How articulation challenges differ from spelling and decoding difficulties
- Explaining to parents why “strengthening language first” leads to better reading outcomes
