Why Public Schools Struggle to Help Kids with Dyslexia - An Interview with Gina Hayunga

Video Here: https://youtu.be/V_1bbwOaMsc

I had the privilege of interviewing Gina Hayunga, a dyslexic woman who put herself through school to be a teacher. People were so amazed that she has dyslexia and teaches and she tells of her journey. What is really inspiring about this interview is she shares how she advocated for her daughter year after year. Gina’s mom is dyslexic, and she saw the signs in her daughter, but the school refused to help because she didn’t fall below the 25%! That’s why schools struggle because they are looking for something that doesn’t line up with their criteria. The eligibility requirement for dyslexia are: Average to high IQ, 2 or more grade levels below in reading (any aspect, including comprehension), and deficits in phonemic awareness.

Gina’s daughter Addyson didn’t receive help until middle school. She is now in HS and her oral expression is beyond her years.” Her daughter has genetic dyslexia. She is receiving help now in HS and aims to go to college. Listen to this story. Does it sound like your story? Don’t quit! Advocate for your kids. It will pay off
