This episode delves into the origins of the Dyslexia Show, its evolution amidst the pandemic, and the remarkable growth it has experienced, including the introduction of the Dyscalculia Show.
Arran's story is a beacon of inspiration, illustrating the power of resilience, community, and the impact of creating a national dialogue around dyslexia support and education.
