Hi, I’m Ross.

I'm a proud dyslexic, a reading specialist, an educational consultant, and a leadership trainer. I have spent more than two decades working with students whose intelligence was systematically underestimated by systems that measured the wrong things.

I built Jumbled Brilliance because I kept watching capable students leave support programs with better coping strategies and worse self-concepts than when they started. The problem was not the students. The problem was a framework that only asked what was hard.

This program is what I wish had existed when I was a student. It is the conversation I wanted to have with someone who saw the full picture of what I was capable of — and helped me figure out how to show it.

The Reality

Dyslexia isn’t going away.

My dyslexia has been my greatest asset.

I needed to build systems that work for me.

Dyslexic minds don’t need a cure.

They need the right supports.

That unlock the brilliance of their minds.
