Ever feel like instructions vanish the moment you hear them? Like you’re constantly playing mental catch-up? You’re not alone, and you’re not broken. In this episode of The Dyslexic Signal, Lauren breaks down the role of working memory in dyslexia and why it’s often mistaken for carelessness or lack of effort.

Discover:

  • Why your brain sometimes feels like a browser with too many tabs open
  • How working memory affects reading, writing, and following instructions
  • Practical tools to support everyday memory struggles
  • Why being forgetful doesn't mean you're failing; it's just how your brain processes information

💡 Plus, stick around for a special resource spotlight that could change the way you (or your child) approaches learning.

👉 This episode is your reminder that forgetfulness is not failure, and support makes all the difference.
