Join us as we discuss dyslexia. In collaboration with Forum Education, Demystifying Dyslexia will give parents a clear, science-grounded, and reassuring roadmap for understanding and supporting dyslexic learners. 

In this concise, high-impact session, we’ll clarify what dyslexia is (and isn’t), dispel common myths, and highlight the strengths often seen in dyslexic thinkers. Parents will gain a parent-friendly introduction to the neuroscience of reading: why reading is taught, not innate, how dyslexic brains process language differently, and how neuroplasticity makes structured intervention so effective. 

You’ll walk away with concrete, evidence-based guidance on what high-quality instruction looks like, what red flags to look for in school language, and which questions matter most when evaluating your child’s support. We’ll share a real-world transformation story to illustrate how the right intervention can unlock measurable academic gains and powerful emotional growth.
