Jaidyn's Story: Overcoming A Reading Disorder

Robert Kneschke / Adobe Stock

Middle school, homework, and all the changes that adolescence brings can be overwhelming for any 13-year-old boy. However, imagine that you are unable to read like your peers. You become upset at the thought of reading in front of others and you have never been able to read anything for pleasure. Hear how Jaidyn, working with a Kennedy Krieger speech language specialist, is learning how to overcome his reading disorder through hard work, professional guidance and dedication. 

Produced by Kennedy Krieger Institute in partnership with WYPR.
