Could this be the ‘cure’ for Dyslexia?

Do you know what is going on inside your dyslexic brain? Until you listen to this episode… you have no clue! 

In this episode Matthew Head meets with the brilliant Dr. Robert Melillo from New York, USA as they discuss how understanding the brain’s neuroanatomy and how if is different in dyslexic brains from neurotypical brains, is the key to understanding how to get the most out of our brains and practically eliminate the challenges of dyslexia whilst keep all the strengths!

Dr. Robert is one of the most respected specialists in childhood neurological disorders in America, and he has been helping children overcome learning disabilities for over 30 years. 

Dr. Melillo helps adults and children with various learning disabilities. He is focused on addressing the primary issue in most learning disabilities and behavioural disorders which is known as a functional disconnection. Since he introduced this concept, functional disconnection has become one of the leading theories in the world related to Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia and more. This work is leading the way toward understanding the underlying nature of these disorders and their causes.

Dr. Robert Melillo is the creator of the ‘Melillo Method’, his holistic approach to treating patients with a broad spectrum of brain related disorders.  The ‘Melillo Method’ is used to identify brain imbalances and treat many symptoms of mental, attention, behavioural, and learning disorders in patients of all ages. This revolutionary approach is paired with diet and nutritional counselling and lifestyle modification to help promote brain and body balance,  effectively correcting the underlying problems common to the entire spectrum of seemingly disparate childhood or adult neurological dysfunctions.

In this episode, Dr. Melillo shares how his research in this topic started when his children started to show signs of dyslexia, autism,  and ADHD. Wanting to know, ‘dad mode’ kicked in and Robert read every book on the subject and, over a 10 year period, wrote his own book about these disorders and his research into the concept around brain imbalances. 

Dr. Robert Melillo is a bestselling author of many books in the dyslexia and ADHD space which are all well worth a read for parents and educators wanting to support their dyslexic children.

Be prepared to think about dyslexia in a completely new way and see it from a new perspective, and maybe, find a new way of navigating the challenges and lean into your dyslexic strengths.
