In this episode of the Dyslexia Explored Podcast, hosts Darius Namdaran and Jo Lee interview Rose Lord, a neurodivergent entrepreneur and former British champion gymnast who is developing the My Best Mood app to build emotional resilience in children. Rose recounts her journey from having "extreme dyslexia" that left her unable to process written words to finding success through a specialized brain-retraining program and eventually advocating for neurodivergent youth in Parliament. They discuss her innovative platform, which uses AI to turn a child’s imagination into personalized digital stories, incorporating evidence-led accessibility features like colored filters and read-aloud functions. The conversation highlights the importance of supporting the "blast radius" of emotional dysregulation within families and Rose’ mission to ensure that children feel valued and understood rather than "fixed".
