Episode description

Her story began in 1994 when her son failed first grade. Testing revealed he could read 10 words, displayed no strengths, and had a "low IQ." She had the opportunity to homeschool him for 6 months. During this time she found that those test results were irrelevant. Her son went on to achieve his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Oxford University. She became a reading specialist teaching children who, like her son, were 'written" off. She is also the author of the book: Reversed: A Memoir. She shares more about her story in this episode of the TIME with Fred Podcast. To learn more about her work, visit: www.loisletchford.com
