Attention Challenges: How ADHD and Dyslexia Overlap

As they say, there are two sides to each coin. In the book, The Dyslexic Advantage, authors Drs. Brock and Fernette Eide deconstruct reasoning as they see it related to how the dyslexic mind processes information. Using their construct in the book as the means to understand how the dyslexic mind works, they address each form of reasoning as if it were a coin. The book offers practical insight on the challenges and then does the same by looking at advantages of the dyslexic mind related to each type of reasoning. In this episode, host Jeff Copper interviews Drs. Brock and Fernette Eide on their book. In the interview they discuss ADHD, how ADHD and dyslexia overlap, and how the practical advantages outlined in the book might be extremely useful for those diagnosed with or impacted by ADHD. Tune in. It will be a very insightful show.
