What personal challenges did Dr. Christy Bock face growing up?

Dr. Christy Bock 0:00
You're never happier than your saddest child. So imagine you have a child who has something going on and you do not know what it is and you do not have the answers. Well, we come into the picture, either through the school districts or private evaluations, and we give them the answers. And not only do we give them the answers, but we give them a path forward. We give them that roadmap that they need to be able to support their child. Dr. Christy Bock is a compassionate educational psychologist and the founder of Cornerstone Educational Solutions. Drawing from her journey of overcoming undiagnosed dyslexia, she empowers students, families, and educators with the tools, advocacy, and support needed to help every learner thrive with confidence.

The education tends to be same old, same old. There's not a lot of change.
Jason Tyler 0:46
There's not a lot of innovation, right?
Dr. Christy Bock 0:48
No, there's not. I think a lot of it is schools not necessarily giving the students what they need because the schools don't have the knowledge of what they need. And that's why I say we disrupt. I mean, what we do with the way we do evaluations, we're disruptors. We are changing the way evaluations are being done.

Dr. Christy Bock 2:03
Good. Relieved. It's over. It was great.

What innovations are needed in the education system?

Dr. Christy Bock 2:06
It was fun. It was fun to be able to kind of articulate all these pieces of my life, my story, the business, kind of all putting it in one.
Jason Tyler 2:19
So what are some things that we're going to learn about you in your Legacy Makers episode? What can the viewers look forward to?
Dr. Christy Bock 2:26
Well, they can look forward to the fact that this is truly missional for me. It's a part of who I am. Not really... It started as a business to make money, but it's turned into kind of who I am, starting as a learning disabled student with dyslexia and turning into that's the population we serve. We serve the students with disabilities. So it's been a very cool evolution.
Jason Tyler 2:55
Got you. Got you. And so I heard in just in the name of your company, you're in the education space.
Dr. Christy Bock 3:01
We are.
Jason Tyler 3:01
So talk to me a little bit about, you know, some of the ups and downs in that space. What are what are some of the things that you're dealing with on a daily basis?
Dr. Christy Bock 3:09
Man, you know, in the education space right now, it's the. It's crazy how much anxiety... I've been a psych for 28 years, and so I have watched it go from where autism was never even discussed, and now we're diagnosing autism constantly. And I would say since COVID, we have seen such an elevation in the anxiety that students experience. It's insane. And it's real and there's just not a lot of support for them because it's kind of new to a lot of the pieces of education where we haven't really had to deal with it that much in the past. So, you know, kind of re equipping ourselves to be able to deal with this rise of anxiety, depression, social, emotional concerns in general has been a bit of a challenge, but it's rewarding because
Dr. Christy Bock 4:06
underneath all of that anxiety are kids who really, you know, they're amazing kids. And we just need to kind of get past a lot of this.
Jason Tyler 4:14
So there's this strange dichotomy of, you know, In the past, you wouldn't see as many diagnoses of autism, of these social disorders or mental disorders or what have you. Now we see a lot more of them. And the first thing that people jump to is, oh, there's a rise in autism. There's a rise in all of these things. Something must be wrong. But is it just a rise because now we know what to look for? And so we're actually properly diagnosing what before may have been overlooked?
