Accommodation is not an advantage, it is access.
In our latest episode, Ann Thomas speaks with Chandana Singh — lawyer, special educator, dyslexia advocate, and founder of Advocacy for Dyslexia. Chandana also helped establish the Office of Learning Support at Ashoka University, where she has worked extensively with neurodivergent students navigating higher education.
Together, they unpack:
🧠 what dyslexia actually is
📚 the myths people still believe
💔 how shame impacts neurodivergent students
🏫 why accommodations are not “special treatment”
✨ and how different ways of thinking deserve support, not stigma
This conversation is for:
Parents trying to understand their child better, educators looking to build supportive classrooms, and neurodivergent individuals navigating school, college, work, and self-worth.
