No dyslexia tutors, so this mom became one
About this episode
Melena Blanton shares her journey as a mom and clinical psychologist advocating for her neurodivergent children in a resource-limited environment.
Melena Blanton is a clinical psychologist and mom of two neurodivergent kids in Eastern Kentucky. She’s had to fight through lack of resources and small town prejudice to get her kids the help they need. That’s meant driving hours for evaluations, training as a tutor herself, and building a scrappy sisterhood of moms doing the impossible. This is what advocacy looks like when the system is broken.
