Oh Mitchell and Nicole! Thank you for the hope and encouragement you have given to families who are on a similar journey with their children. I am ten years behind you with my child who learns differently and yes, I was crying at the end. Happy tears for what the Lord has in store for you!
Thank you, Amanda!

My 11 year old son has severe dyslexia and other learning challenges so this podcast was relevant for our whole family to listen to. It was so encouraging for all of us to hear Mitchell speak about school and life with dyslexia from the perspective of an 18 year old. He articulated what our son at age 11 can not yet explain and gave all of us a sense of renewed hope. As a mom, I was blessed to hear Nicole’s perspective on how CM methods are a great fit for a child with dyslexia and also on her perseverance. I always learn from your podcasts but this one in particular was a blessing! Thank you for recording this podcast.
I’m so glad it was helpful to you and your whole family, Lauren. Mitchell and I had your son in mind while we were preparing for it.

Love, love, love! Thank you SOOOO much for this podcast! I have a dyslexic, dyscalculic daughter, & it’s been so tough going through this… I’ve been praying for the Lord to calm my fears & trust His will for us through this homeschooling journey. I just know this episode was a gift from Him. Thank you for sharing, both of you! And thank you, Mitchell, for your encouragement to my daughter & me 🙂
Thank you, Stacie. I’m so glad it was helpful! Mitchell is a very compassionate person, and it was because of people like you and your daughter that he readily agreed to do it. Best wishes to you both.
