  <title>A Parent’s Advocacy: The Lisa Jensen DeLaet Story | Dont Call On Me, The Dyslexia Podcast Ep. 38</title>
  <description>In this powerful episode of the Don't Call on Me Podcast, Megan and Eryn welcome Lisa Jensen DeLaet, a mother of two children with dyslexia, who has become a fierce advocate for early intervention and the science of reading. She shares her journey of discovering her 9-year-old son’s dyslexia in kindergarten and the uphill battle she waged to secure evaluations, accommodations, and an IEP—all while learning how to navigate a system that often overlooks early signs of learning differences. Lisa also shares the story of her 16-year-old daughter, a straight-A student whose dyslexia went unnoticed for years due to her incredible memory and compensatory skills. Through this dual perspective, Lisa emphasizes the importance of proper screening and evidence-based interventions in ensuring every child gets the support they need. This mother’s advocacy extends beyond her family: she has presented at a national health equity summit and spoken to her local school district on “Dyslexia: A Parent’s Perspective.” She also shares the heartwarming story of her son’s newfound confidence as a 3rd grader who reads aloud in class and runs for kids with dyslexia at a suicide awareness event. Tune in for a conversation about dyslexia where perseverance, hope, and the life-changing impact of embracing an intentional journey is sure to inspire. &amp;amp;nbsp; Dyslexia On Demand&amp;amp;nbsp;   Book a consultation with Megan to discuss CALT therapy.
