What Makes Lisa Wright with Moving Minds Learning Solutions a Good Neighbor?

Your kid can explain a whole story out loud, then stare at a worksheet like the words vanished. That disconnect is real, and it has a name more often than people realize. We’re joined by Lisa Wright from Moving Minds Learning Solutions to talk about what’s actually happening when reading, writing, and spelling feel harder than they should, and why shame and labels never fix it.

We break down the difference between dyslexia and dysgraphia in plain language. Dyslexia affects decoding and reading, while dysgraphia can affect writing, spelling, handwriting, and organizing thoughts on paper. Lisa also tackles the biggest misconceptions, including the idea that dyslexia is just reversing letters or that struggling students are lazy. We talk about why dyslexia has nothing to do with intelligence and how explicit literacy instruction can help build new pathways so reading becomes more automatic over time.

Lisa brings a powerful perspective as an educator, a parent, and someone with dyslexia and ADHD. We dig into multisensory instruction, why “touch it, say it, write it” can be a game changer, and how support can shift with age without disappearing.

We also discuss classroom and workplace accommodations like text-to-speech, read-aloud tools, and access to notes, because strong learners still deserve the right supports. If you’re searching for dyslexia therapy, dysgraphia support, reading intervention, or literacy services in North Dallas, this conversation will give you clearer next steps.
