Dyslexia Chose Me: Dr. Rebecca Troy’s Mission to Retrain the Brain

In this thought-provoking episode of My Perfect Failure, Dr. Rebecca Troy shares how a personal connection to dyslexia—despite not having it herself—sparked a deep commitment to understanding and supporting those who do. Inspired by family experiences, Rebecca built Retrain The Dyslexic Brain, a pioneering, neuroscience-based program that helps children and families tap into the brain’s ability to adapt and thrive.

We explore the misunderstood nature of dyslexia, the danger of misdiagnosis, and how mindset, repetition, and neuroplasticity can create lasting change. Dr. Troy also discusses her collaboration with Made By Dyslexia and Sir Richard Branson, championing the strengths and creativity of dyslexic thinking.

5 Takeaways

1. Dyslexia isn’t a limitation—it’s a different way the brain processes language.
2. Early misdiagnosis can damage self-esteem and mental health.
3. Many children with dyslexia have co-occurring traits like ADHD or autism.
4. With consistent training, children can make major progress in just 4 months.
5. A strong mindset is just as vital as the science behind the change.
