In this episode, Anne speaks with guest Kimberly Parra, an educator who has developed a unique system to help individuals, especially children, overcome challenges with dyslexia and ADHD. Kimberly shares her personal experience with dyslexia and ADHD, highlighting how she struggled with reading and how a second-grade teacher's intervention helped her develop her method.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Personal growth can lead to fulfillment, and developing unique systems to overcome challenges can make a significant impact.
Understanding the history and evolution of language and communication can provide insights into learning difficulties like dyslexia and ADHD.
Utilizing flashcards and visual aids can help individuals, especially children, with dyslexia and ADHD to improve reading skills and build neural pathways.
Consistent practice, commitment, and personalized approaches can lead to rapid progress in learning and retention of information.
Empowering parents to understand and support their children's learning challenges can lead to long-term success and self-sufficiency.
BEST MOMENTS
"We didn't really know what dyslexia was, but they recognized patterns. And so she gave me a ruler to kind of help steady the words on the page and to help keep me focused on one sentence at a time."
"The thing that we can rely on, and the thing that I can bring to the table that we've probably forgotten about, is that we used to rely on pictures in order to communicate."
"All I'm doing is I'm building a bridge from everything that you've learned and everything maybe you didn't learn, and building a bridge from point A to point B so that you can cross it and you can make sense of all the rest of the information that you have learned in the past."

HOST BIO
Anne originally trained as a maths and science teacher but then chose to qualify as an accountant and worked in business for 12 years. Having recognised that there was more to life than a successful career – specifically working long hours to make money for other people at the expense of her own health – she quit the rat race and returned to her first love: teaching, but on a part-time basis. Fascinated by psychology, philosophy and theology, she is now a successful trainer, speaker and author, who enjoys sharing her passion, purpose and knowledge with a growing audience.
