Episode 159
Wednesday, 21 May, 2025
In this eye-opening episode of The Soaring Child, host Dana Kay is joined by David Chalk, an entrepreneur, speaker, and advocate for literacy who learned to read at the age of 62. Despite battling dyslexia, ADHD, and a rare condition that affects facial recognition, David built a wildly successful life. He now shares his powerful journey and introduces his groundbreaking AI-powered program, ReadingRoad.io, which is set to revolutionize how we teach children and adults to read—by focusing on the science of sounds, connection, and compassion. Dana and David dive deep into the emotional and cognitive blocks behind reading challenges, especially for neurodivergent kids. This episode offers parents not only hope, but actionable insight. You'll also hear how unconditional love, mindset, and understanding the “why” behind behavior can transform a struggling child’s life. David’s story is a must-hear for any parent navigating reading struggles with their child.
