Lynn Greenberg is back on The Different Ability® Podcast, and this time she's joined by her son, Jon!

In this episode, Jon shares his experiences growing up with dyslexia, the challenges he faced in school, and how finding the right learning environment changed his life. We also dive into the incredible mother-son collaboration behind their two published children's books, with Lynn as the author and Jon bringing the stories to life through his illustrations!

Plus, they're already working on book number THREE!

From dyslexia and advocacy to creativity, family, and following your passions, this conversation is filled with powerful stories, laughter, and a few emotional moments along the way.

Lynn & Jon's Bios

Lynn and Jonathan Greenberg are the mother–son duo behind the Creative Cab Company® children’s book series, featuring Robby the Dyslexic Taxi and the Airport Adventure and Suzy the ADHD Taxi and the Sightseeing Adventure.

What makes their story especially meaningful is that Jonathan, who has both dyslexia and ADHD, is also the illustrator. Together, he and his mom are helping redefine representation in children’s books, with a mission to help kids who learn differently see themselves as heroes in their own stories.

Both books feature dyslexia-friendly fonts and relatable storytelling that celebrate neurodiversity in a joyful, empowering, and accessible way. Their work has received praise from Kirkus Reviews and IndieReader, and Robby was named a Book of the Year winner by Creative Child Magazine.

What happens when someone tells your parents you'll probably never graduate high school, but you go on to earn a master's degree and write a novel?

In this episode of The Different Ability® Podcast, I'm joined by Leigh T. Braden, a fellow dyslexic, social worker, and author of the upcoming novel Word Blindness.

We talk about growing up with dyslexia, the incredible impact of parents who advocate for their children, finding confidence in our different brains, and why representation matters for adults with dyslexia, too.

Leigh also shares the inspiration behind Word Blindness and reads a beautiful passage from her book.

This conversation is full of laughter, connection, advocacy, and a reminder that our stories deserve to be told!

What happens when you know your child is smart, creative, and capable, but the way they learn isn’t being understood?

In this episode, I sit down with Lynn Greenberg to talk about her experience advocating for her son, John, after recognizing early signs of dyslexia and ADHD. We talk about trusting your gut as a parent, finding the right support, the impact of finally having an answer, and what it means for a child to realize they aren’t alone.

Lynn also shares how she and John turned their experiences into the Creative Cab Company, a children’s book series featuring neurodivergent characters and helping kids see themselves represented in the stories they read.

This conversation is a beautiful reminder of just how powerful it can be when a child feels seen, understood, and supported.
