This will be the last episode on the subject for a while (I promise!) but I couldn't pass up an opportunity to speak with my extraordinary guest today, Jennifer Knopf. Jen is the Founding Director of REED Charitable Foundation, which is committed to putting an end to the literacy crisis and ensuring all children learn to read, write, and spell by providing financially accessible, best-in-class structure literacy training - known as Orton-Gillingham - to all teachers. Jen first learned about dyslexia when her son Reed was diagnosed after a long, emotional struggle to figure out why reading was so difficult for him. As she dove deep into the research to find her son the right kind of intervention, Jen discovered there was a literacy training program that was not only ideal for dyslexic students but also the best instruction for all kids learning to read, only for some reason it was not being used in schools. Ever since this discovery, Jen has made it her mission to provide this literacy training to as many teachers as she possibly can, something she knows firsthand has the power to transform lives. In the process, she discovered not only her son's ADHD but also her own ADHD. Join our conversation to hear about Jen's inspiring story, the incredible work of her foundation, and much more. ______________ Resources: Foundation website: REEDcharitablefoundation.org Instagram: @reedcharitablefoundation Email address: info@reedcharitablefoundation.org Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.
