  • What do you really know about Dyslexia or ADHD?
  • Did you know these are two of the most common-and misunderstood-learning differences in our schools today?
  • Are you a teacher searching for practical, compassionate strategies to support neurodiverse learners in your classroom?
  • Are you a parent of a child who's struggling, tired, frustrated, and fighting for your child to be seen and supported at school?
  • Would you like to step into their shoes and truly understand what it feels like to be 'different'?

A Life Misunderstood is a powerful and engaging book in which Phillipa Eagle shares how she began her journey as a passionate primary school teacher-but no amount of training prepared her for the complex learning needs she encountered in her classrooms. 

Overwhelmed and believing she wasn't good enough, Phillipa stepped away from teaching to explore other paths. But the journey led her back-this time with deeper insight, purpose, and a fire to make a real difference.

Having faced her own school struggles, Phillipa has always been drawn to the children who fall through the cracks. Her passion led her to become a literacy and dyslexia specialist and advocate, determined to speak up for the 20% of students too often overlooked.

In her powerful debut book, Phillipa gives voice to these children, and empowers the adults who care for them with honesty, empathy, and practical wisdom.
