Episode 107: Promoting Reading In Children With Learning Disabilities With Guest Dr. Maria Cleary
In this episode, Dr. Maria Cleary discusses reading literacy and
and the importance of continuing to read throughout
childhood.
Her daughter was showing learning delays when she was young and was
found to have left-brain hemiatrophy. Her daughter did well in
special education classes in public school until middle school,
when things started to change. She started to notice that things
were different for her socially. She then went to a special
education school, which her daughter loved. As she got older, there
weren't any books that were at her reading level, and she stopped
reading. Dr. Cleary searched for something, but couldn't find
anything for her daughter.
Reading is so important because a huge percentage of kids with
learning disabilities drop out of school and many are unemployed.
Reading affects their success as adults. There has been no
improvement in any grade level in reading since 2017 in the USA. By
the time you reach middle school, if you stop reading, the neurons
that support reading start dying and you start losing your ability
to read. Reading is the single factor that leads to life
success.
