Russell Van Brocklen on Dyslexia Breakthroughs, Brain Science & Helping Students

In this powerful episode of Panhandle Pulse, host Chuck Asbury sits down with “The Dyslexia Professor” Russell Van Brocklen to unpack the real science behind dyslexia and why traditional school systems are failing bright students. From his own journey with a first-grade reading level to developing a results-driven method that helped students jump from the 4th percentile to the 65th percentile, Russell shares practical strategies parents and educators can use immediately.
Learn how early intervention can save millions in education costs, how to tap into a child’s “specialty” to unlock reading and writing skills, and why motivation—not medication—is often the missing piece. If you're a parent, teacher, or policymaker in Florida’s Panhandle, this conversation could change how you think about dyslexia, special education, and student potential.
