Are you navigating a new dyslexia diagnosis and feeling unsure where to begin?
Do the reports, recommendations, and varying opinions leave you more overwhelmed than informed?
Is it hard to know what actually works when it comes to supporting your child at home and advocating at school?
Would you feel more confident with a steady, compassionate guide to walk this path with you?
Hi, I'm Rebecca Bush
As a leading multi-certified dyslexia specialist, parent guide, and author with nearly 20 years of experience, I help families navigate the road after a dyslexia diagnosis with clarity, compassion, and tools that work.
My signature Five Shifts Framework™ combines parent-focused insight with practical, evidence-based strategies to help families navigate the complex world of learning differences. I focus on clarity over chaos, evidence-based support over guesswork, and empowering parenting in ways that honor both your child’s needs and your own.
Together, we’ll create a supportive, sustainable path forward.​​​
Introducing:
Featuring the Five Shifts Frameworkâ„¢
​This signature approach is designed to guide parents of children with dyslexia through both the emotional and practical journey after a diagnosis. These five essential mindset shifts help you move from feeling overwhelmed and uncertain to becoming the calm, confident advocate your child deserves. Step by step, we’ll build clarity, connection, and a plan that truly supports your family.
Your Journey Through The Dyslexia Driver’s Seat™
Guided by the Five Shifts Frameworkâ„¢
Step 1: How can this diagnosis help you truly know your child?
Restoring Confidence:
We begin with a deep dive into your child’s unique learning profile—looking beyond the diagnosis to better understand how they think, experience the world, and feel. Together, we’ll review reports, explore your home environment, and clarify what matters most right now. This step builds the foundation for every decision that follows.
​
-
Clarify your child’s cognitive and academic profile
-
Identify emotional, sensory, or environmental needs
-
Reflect on home routines and daily friction points
-
Establish a vision for support—at home, in school, and beyond
Step 2: What do you now know about dyslexia?
From Assuming to Knowing:
Many parents start with assumptions—about what dyslexia is, what their child needs, or what schools will provide. Here, we replace confusion with knowledge. You’ll learn how dyslexia impacts your specific child and how to filter what matters from what doesn’t.
​
-
Learn how to read and interpret assessment results with confidence
-
Clarify what dyslexia is (and isn’t) and what that means for your child day-to-day
-
Begin identifying which educational supports are actually evidence-based​​
-
Recognize the importance of early, aligned intervention
Step 3: How can you support your child without losing yourself?
From Reactive to Regulated:
It’s normal to feel overwhelmed after a diagnosis. This step gives you space to process, regulate, and respond, rather than react. You’ve been showing up for your child every step of the way. This is a space to care for yourself, too—to reflect, recharge, and restore the energy you need to keep going.
​
-
Normalize and process emotions like guilt, grief, anger, or anxiety
-
Understand the emotional toll dyslexia can have on your child—and you
-
Build routines, supports, and coping strategies that work for your family
-
Discover tools that support calm, connection, and emotional growth—for your whole family.
Step 4: Who belongs on your team, so you don’t have to do this alone?
From Lone Ranger to a Team:
You can’t do this alone, and you shouldn’t have to. In this step, we identify who you need on your side and how to build your child’s support system with clarity and trust.
​
-
Define roles: what to expect from schools, tutors, therapists, and evaluators
-
Learn how to find, vet, and partner with professionals
-
Identify and activate your support network (family, friends, school allies)
-
Begin shaping your team based on your child’s specific needs
Step 5: How can you lead your child’s support with calm and confidence?
From Passenger to Driver:
You are your child’s most important advocate. This step gives you the knowledge, language, and confidence to take the lead in educational settings.
​
-
Learn how to prepare for school meetings and speak the school’s language
-
Create scripts, email templates, and talking points for confident advocacy
-
Set goals and track progress using data and daily feedback
-
Practice setting boundaries and asking the right questions
Step 6: What will lasting support look like as your child grows?
From Present to Ongoing Preparedness:
Dyslexia doesn’t go away, but with the right foundation, your child (and your family) can thrive. This final step is about integration, sustainability, and preparing for what’s ahead.
​
-
Solidify routines and supports that grow with your child
-
Revisit your advocacy plan and adjust based on progress
-
Prepare for long-term transitions (e.g., grade changes, new schools)
-
Leave with a personalized, evolving roadmap you can return to again and again
