Host Laura Lurns speaks to parents witnessing their child’s heartbreaking struggles with math, marked by tears and frustration over seemingly simple problems, often linked to dyscalculia.

She reframes dyscalculia not as a lifelong barrier but as a different way the brain processes numbers, comparable to being left-handed in a right-handed world. Drawing on neuroplasticity research, including a study of an eight-year-old whose brain rewired through targeted training, Laura highlights how cognitive skills like number sense, working memory, and visual processing can be strengthened.

She offers six practical steps: playful number sense activities, hands-on manipulatives, breaking tasks into manageable steps, celebrating effort, addressing math anxiety, and systematic cognitive training with tools like the Brain Bloom System and Attentive Ear Auditory Processing Program. Emphasizing the power of a growth mindset, Laura encourages parents to shift from seeing dyscalculia as a permanent disability to a developable skill set.

Host Laura Lurns addresses parents concerned about their preschooler’s early signs of dyslexia, such as struggling with similar shapes, confusing sounds like ‘p’ and ‘b,’ or difficulty following multi-step instructions.

She highlights how these visual, auditory, and language processing challenges—often mistaken for developmental delays—predict future reading difficulties but can be addressed early due to the brain’s neuroplasticity.

Research shows early intervention reshapes reading circuits, and Laura offers six practical steps: observing visual tasks, fostering auditory skills through rhyming games, monitoring language patterns, simplifying instructions, creating a print-rich environment, and seeking comprehensive evaluations. Programs like the Brain Bloom System, Attentive Ear Auditory Processing, and the 5-Minute Reading Fix within the Learning Success All Access Program target these foundational skills to prevent guessing habits and build decoding confidence.

Host Laura Lurns addresses the emotional toll parents witness when their dyslexic child comes home exhausted, defeated, or in tears from the cognitive marathon of a school day.

She explains how dyslexia creates overwhelming mental demands due to challenges in auditory processing, visual processing, and working memory, forcing the brain to work harder than peers’ for basic tasks.

Backed by research showing heightened anxiety and lower self-esteem in dyslexic students, Laura emphasizes the power of neuroplasticity to rewire these processing pathways.

She offers six practical strategies to reduce cognitive overload: validating effort, scheduling decompression breaks, breaking tasks into chunks, providing written instructions, using timers, and celebrating small wins.

Programs like the Brain Bloom System and Attentive Ear Auditory Processing Program target these skills, fostering resilience and confidence.
