What do you do when you know your kid is struggling, but the school keeps saying, “It’s fine, they’ll grow out of it”? In this episode of Yhea Foo Nah Foo, we sit down with Paul, a Special Ed advocate who’s been helping parents fight for their kids’ education for over 15 years.

We break down:

  • How to spot dyslexia early (the first signs parents miss).
  • What an IEP really is and why schools resist giving them.
  • Why culture and pride make many families deny learning disabilities.
  • The shocking reality: dyslexic kids are overrepresented at Caltech and in prison—advocacy makes the difference.
  • The #1 rule every parent needs to know: put everything in writing. Emails = legal documents.

This episode is part real talk, part survival guide for parents, and a must-listen if you want to understand how to navigate the education system.
