#70: OT and Dyslexia with Penny Stack
Manage episode 389673672 series 2573061
Dyslexia is the most common form of neurodivergence.
It affects around 20% of the population, meaning that people with dyslexia are on almost every occupational therapy professional’s caseload. And yet, not enough OT-specific research and resources have been devoted to how we can help this population.
Today, we look at a leading theory of dyslexia that basically reads like a call to action for OT’s to re-examine how needed our skills are.
As you’ll see it pushes us to take a strengths-based approach to treating dyslexia, and to regard the condition as rooted in a sensory processing difference (hello, OT!)
To help us unpack what this means for your practice, next week we will welcome to the podcast Penny Stack, OTD, OTR/L. She is the founder of DyslexiaRx.
