3.31 My Child Has Dyslexia, Now What? with Lisa Parnello
In this episode, I’m happy to share a conversation with Lisa Parnello.
Lisa is a dyslexia expert with over 15 years of experience including public schools, and private schools, with a primary focus on students with learning differences such as dyslexia, and dysgraphia. She started her career teaching general education students and discovered her heart was set on helping the children who struggled the most.
She earned her M.Ed. in special education and has since dedicated her life to helping the most struggling learners. She is a certified Wilson Dyslexia Therapist and a Wilson Credentialed Trainer. Lisa served as the Lower School Director of Sand Hill School at CHC in Palo Alto before expanding Parnello Education Services.
She trains and guides teachers as they develop into successful special education instructors including mentoring teachers and instructional coaching. Tune in to this episode for the next steps parents can take after getting a dyslexia diagnosis for their child, an explanation of what a dyslexia therapist does, and book recommendations for parents and kids.
